The university reserves the right to make, at any time, whatever changes it deems necessary in admission
requirements, fees, charges, tuition, faculty, instructors, policies, regulations, and academic programs prior to
the start of any class, term, semester, trimester, or session. The university reserves the right to divide, cancel,

Dear Student:
At the University of New Haven, we provide world-class
career preparation in all of our programs, but our overarching
goal is to prepare students to lead meaningful lives.
Through our courses in the arts, humanities, and sciences,
we cultivate our students' humanity; and, by integrating
real-life learning in our academic programs — through
such areas of emphasis as community service, internships,
student-faculty research, and student self-governance —
we prepare our students for leadership in their careers and
as members of a democratic society.
The technological and economic complexity as well as
the great cultural diversity of the world in which you will
live and work will require you to be exceptionally flexible,
compassionate, and tolerant human beings. I hope your
UNH education will lead you to measure your personal
success not just by the dollars you earn but primarily by the positive impact you can have on the lives
of others. For this reason, I encourage you — regardless of your major — to explore this catalog for
courses that will enrich your sense of social justice and societal responsibility.
The faculty at UNH has impressive academic and professional credentials, in many cases bringing
with them national and even international reputations in their fields. More important to you as a
student, they are committed in unrivaled ways to the success of each and every one of their students.
I hope you will take advantage of their interest in you and get to know as many faculty members as
possible and allow them the privilege of knowing you.
One of my favorite quotations, and one that I use often in speaking to students, is from Ernest
Boyer, a former president of the Carnegie Foundation, who once warned that the "crisis of our time
relates not to technical competence, but to a loss of the social and historical perspective, to the disastrous
divorce of competence from conscience." As you focus in your studies on your technical training in
whatever field you choose to study, I hope you will also allow yourself some time to take courses and
participate in extra-curricular activities that challenge you to question your own values as well as
prevailing societal values and to look for ways to improve the world that you will help form as a
member of a global society.
I wish you success in your studies and personal enrichment through your experiences at the
Universitv of New Haven. Please come to see me if there is ever anything I can do to assist you.
With best wishes.
Steven H. Kaplan
President

makes it possible for students to augment their aca-
demic program with related work experience.
The Graduate School offers students the opportu-
nity to continue study beyond the bachelor's degree on
a part-time or full-time basis.
By responding to the educational needs of its stu-
dents, the University of New Haven has become a
major regional university serving both our students
and the business community.
Accreditation
The University of New Haven is a coeducational,
nonsectarian, independent institution of higher learn-
ing chartered by the General Assembly of the State of
Connecticut.
The University of New Haven is accredited by the
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
(NEASC), Inc., a nongovernmental, nationally recog-
nized organization whose affiliations range from ele-
mentary schools to collegiate institutions offering
postgraduate instruction.
Accreditation by NEASC indicates that an insti-
tution meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of
institutional quality periodically applied through a
peer group review process. An accredited school or
college is one which has available the necessary
resources to achieve its stated mission through
appropriate educational programs, is substantially
doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will
continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Institutional integrity is also addressed through
accreditation.
Accreditation by NELASC is not partial but applies
to the institution as a whole. It is not a guarantee of
the quality of every course or program offered or of the
competence of individual graduates. Rather, it pro-
vides reasonable assurance of the quality of opportuni-
ties available to students.
The UNH School of Business is actively seeking
accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB). The School has volun-
tarily committed to participate in a systematic pro-
gram of quality enhancement and continuous
improvement that makes AACSB accreditation a more
realistic and operational objective.
The University of New Haven's curricula leading to
the bachelors degrees in chemical, civil, electrical, indus-
trial, and mechanical engineering are fully accredited by
the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(EAC/ABET). The Computer Science bachelors degree
program is fully accredited by the Computing
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology (CAC/ABET).
Individual programs, departments, and schools
hold various forms of national professional accredita-
tion which are listed in relevant sections of the catalog.
History
The University of New Haven was founded in 1920
as the New Haven YMCA Junior College, a division of
Northeastern University. It became New Haven College
in 1926 by an act of the Connecticut General Assembly.
For nearly 40 years, the college held classes in space rent-
ed from Yale University.
In September 1958, the college completed con-
struction of a classroom building on Cold Spring
Street, New Haven, for its daytime engineering pro-
grams. That same year, the college received authoriza-
10
tion from the Connecticut legislature to offer the
bachelor of science degree in the fields of business,
accounting, management, and industrial engineering.
Although the student body on the new Cold
Spring Street campus numbered fewer than 200, the
college's facilities were fast becoming overcrowded.
To meet the needs of the college and the local com-
munity, the Board of Governors purchased, in 1960,
three buildings and 25 acres of land in West Haven
formerly belonging to the New Haven County
Orphanage.
The combination of increased classroom space and
four-year degree programs sparked a period of tremen-
dous growth in enrollment and facilities. In 1961, the
year after the college moved to West Haven, the gradu-
ating class numbered 75. Forty-three years later the fig-
ure has climbed to 1 ,200 graduates annually.
New Haven College received full accreditation for
its baccalaureate programs from the New England
Association of Schools and Colleges in 1966. In 1969,
the college took a major step forward with the addi-
tion of the Graduate School. Initially offering pro-
grams in business administration and industrial engi-
neering, the Graduate School expanded rapidly.
Today, 30 master's programs, along with a wide vari-
ety of graduate certificates, offer the approximately
1,800 graduate students many choices for post-bacca-
laureate study.
In 1970, on the fiftieth anniversary of its found-
ing. New Haven College became the University of
New Haven, reflecting the increased scope and the
diversity of academic programs offered. Today, the
university offers a rich variety of undergraduate and
graduate degree programs in six schools: the College of
Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, the School
of Engineering and Applied Science, the Tagliatela
School of Hospitality and Tourism, the School of
Public Safety and Professional Studies, and the
Graduate School.
Undergraduate and graduate courses and programs
are offered on the main campus in West Haven as well
as in New London and at other off-campus and in-plant
sites. Graduate courses in selected fields are offered in
New London, Stamford, Waterbury, Stratford, Shelton,
and Newington. The graduate forensic science, fire sci-
ence, and human nutrition programs are offered at
satellite locations in California.
Philosophy
The University of New Haven, a private, compre-
hensive, multi-campus university based in southern
New England, provides quality educational opportu-
nities and preparation for self-reliant, productive, eth-
ical service in a global society
Since its founding in 1 920 the University of New
Haven has been an innovator in providing quality edu-
cational opportunities with special emphasis on pro-
grams addressing current and emerging social needs.
Building on its successful past, the university will
strive to achieve prominent and distinctive leadership
as an institution that empowers students with substan-
tive knowledge, ability to communicate, problem-
solving skills, and the practical experience appropriate
for success as leaders in their professions and as citizens
of the local and world communities.
The university is committed to participatory gover-
nance and quality management through continuous
improvement as the means to achieve its goals and per-
form its primary service — successful student and facul-
ty growth and learning.

vidual's gender, race, color, religion, age, disability, sex-
ual orientation, or national or ethnic origin.
Notification of the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
affords students certain rights with respect to their ed-
ucation records, as follows:
(1) The right to inspect and review records within
45 days of the day the university receives a request for
access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean,
head of academic department, or other appropriate offi-
cial written requests that identify the record(s) they wish
to inspect. The university official will make arrange-
ments for access and notify the student of the time and
place where the records may be inspected. If the records
are not maintained by the university official to whom the
request was submitted, that official shall advise the stu-
dent of the correct official to whom the request should
be addressed.
(2) The right to request amendment of records that
the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.
Students may ask the university to amend a record that
they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should
write the university official responsible for the record,
clearly identify the part of the record they want
changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the university decides not to amend the record as re-
quested by the student, the university will notify the
student of the decision and advise the student of his or
her right to a hearing regarding the request for amend-
ment. Additional information regarding hearing proce-
dures will be provided to the student when notified of
the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to consent to disclosures of per-
sonally identifiable information contained in the
student's education records, except to the extent
that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception which permits disclosure without
consent is a disclosure to school officials with legiti-
mate educational interests. A school official is a per-
son employed by the university in an administrative,
supervisory, academic or research, or support staff
position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); a person or company with whom
the university has contracted (such as an attorney,
auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the
Board of Governors; or a student serving on an offi-
14
cial committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official in per-
forming his or her tasks. A school official has a legit-
imate educational interest if the official needs to re-
view an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. De-
partment of Education concerning alleged failures by
the University of New Haven to comply with the
requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the
office that administers FERPA are Family Policy
Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education,
600 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC
20202-4605.
The Student Right-to-Know and
Campus Security Act
In accordance with Connecticut's Public Act 90-
259 concerning campus safety and the 1990 federal
law, PLIO 1-542: The Student Right-to-Know and
Campus Security Act, all colleges and universities
receiving state and federal financial assistance are
required to maintain specific information related to
campus crime statistics and security measures, annual-
ly provide such information to all current students and
employees, and make the data available to all prospec-
tive students and their families and to prospective
employees upon request.
Safety on the university campus is a natural source
of. concern for parents, students, and university
employees. Education — the business of the University
of New Haven — can take place only in an environ-
ment in which each student and employee feels safe
and secure. UNH recognizes this and employs a num-
ber of security measures including its own sworn
police department to protect the members of this com-
munity.
The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security
Act (Clery Act) is a federal law that requires all colleges
and universities to disclose annually information
about crime on and around their campuses. The
Campus Crime Report includes statistics for the three
most recently completed calendar years.
The full report for the University of New Haven,
prepared by the UNH Police Department, is available
on the UNH website and in printed form at the UNH
Police Department. This report also includes infor-
mation on university policies concerning sexual
assaults, alcohol, drugs, weapons, and residence hall
security.
Drug-Free and Smoke-Free
Environment
In accordance with federal law concerning a drug-
free campus environment, the relevant university poli-
cy and regulations are provided to all current students
and employees. The information is also available upon
request at the human resource department.
The No Smoking policy is in effect in any campus
administrative, academic, or recreational building.
This restriction applies to all UNH offices, classrooms,
hallways, stairwells, restrooms, dining facilities, con-
ference/meeting facilities, athletic facilities, and any
other public spaces within these buildings. Smoking is
confined to outdoor space, with ashtrays provided at
entrances to each building.
Smoking in the residence halls is restricted to rooms,
suites, and apartments which have been designated as
allowing smoking as agreed upon by the roommates.
Smoking is not allowed in lobbies, hallways, laundry
rooms, meeting rooms, community rooms, or any other
public spaces within the residence halls.

UNIVERSITY CURRICULA
University Core Curriculum
The University of New Haven is a microcosm of
American society: necessarily specialized and unavoid-
ably complex. Nevertheless, it is the belief of the uni-
versity that all students matriculating for associate's or
bachelor's degrees should develop a common set of
skills; furthermore, they should be exposed to a com-
monality of intellectual experiences which are the dis-
tinguishing traits of a university graduate. The purpose
of the University Core Curriculum is to prepare all
graduates for the changing, complex lives they will
lead, to focus on the quality of their lives, and to
enhance and expand the development of the wisdom
by which they will frame their lives.
The University Core Curriculum, in seeking to
achieve these goals, is dynamic. The core offers stu-
dents the broadest possible perspective in their disci-
plines. For that reason, the University Core
Curriculum includes new interdisciplinary courses as
well as existing disciplinary ones. The interrelationship
of these courses enables students to develop the fol-
lowing skills and conceptual abilities:
• Communication Skills
• Clear Reasoning:
Quantitative skills
Problem-solving and synthetic reasoning
Scientific methodology
• Dimensions of Our World, including the
following:
Social and cultural
Natural and physical
Technical
Historical
Ethical and moral
Aesthetic
Courses will be chosen from the following categories:
Laboratory science
Social science
Histoty
Literature or philosophy
Art, music, or theatre
Bachelor's Degree
Core Requirements
The University Core Curriculum for bachelor's
degree programs encompasses a minimum of 11 cours-
es, totaling 34 credits. Individual schools or departments
may require additional core curriculum courses for their
students. Some of the objectives outlined above are
incorporated into more than one of the following areas.
Communication Skills 6 credits
The intent of this area is to develop student skills in
reading, writing, and communicating in the English
language. Two courses are required and should be
taken in the freshman year:
E 105 Composition (or E 106 for
international students)
E 1 10 Composition and Literature (or E 111
for international students)
If a student places out of E 105, then CO 100
Human Communication or a technical writing course
(E 220 or E 225) must be taken.
Clear Reasoning 9 credits
Quantitative Skills (3 credits)
All students must be able to think abstractly, solve
problems, and demonstrate a basic ability to do
numerical computations and elementary algebra.
Choose from the following:
M 109 Intermediate Algebra or
M 127 Finite Mathematics or
demonstration of an equivalent level of skill.
Students may satisfy this requirement by satisfacto-
ry performance on a placement test administered
by the mathematics department.
16
Problem-solving and synthetic reasoning (3 credits
minimum)
Students should be able to use a computer to meet
their needs. They should be able to operate the
machinery, bring a program into execution, and use
that program to accomplish some useful end.
Students may select one of the following:
CS 107 Introduction to Data Processing
CS 110 Introduction to C Programming I
EAS 112 Methods of Engineering Analysis
OR — one of the following three-course sequences:
1
M 127 Finite Mathematics
M 228 Elementary Statistics
SO 350 Social Survey Research
II
M 1 27 Finite Mathematics
P 301 Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences
P 305 Experimental Methods in Psychology
III
M 127 Finite Mathematics
P 301 Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences
SO 350 Social Survey Research
Scientific Methodology (3 credits)
Scientific methodology is often taken to represent
the best example of clear reasoning and is one of the
basic methods through which we gain knowledge of
the universe. Understanding the methods of science
improves the student's ability to reason clearly. In
special cases this requirement can be fulfilled by a
research course that familiarizes the student with the
theory, methods, and culture of science. A request
for such substitution must be made to the Core
Curriculum Committee. The substitution will be
approved if the request is accompanied by a
proposal for a research project and if the proposal
requires the student to provide a survey of the liter-
ature and to discuss methodology, causal relation-
ships observed, and the results and significance
of the research.
Students select one of the following:
EAS 107 Introduction to Engineering
HS 108 History of Science
HU 300 Nature of Science
PL 240 Philosophy of Science and Technology
Dimensions of Our World
19 credits
Laboratory Science
Students should understand the methodology of at
least one basic science. One of the following laborato-
ry courses satisfies the requirement:

Associate's Degree Core Requirements
Students pursuing an associate's degree must sat-
isfy the following core curriculum requirements:
Communication Skills 6 credits
Quantitative Skills 3 credits
Computers 3 credits
Social Science 3 credits
History 3 credits
Art, Music, or Theatre 3 credits
These requirements are explained in detail above. All
core requirements satisfied by the student for the associ-
ate's degree will be applied toward the larger bachelor's
degree core if the student continues study.
Academic Advising
To assist students in their academic development,
the university assigns an academic advisor from the
department of each student's chosen field of study. As
soon and as often as possible, wise students seek the
advice of their academic advisors regarding major
requirements, career opportunities, choice of a minor,
and progress in their major, as well as other areas of
personal interest. At the time of registration, the aca-
demic advisors assist in and approve course selection.
Students also confer with their advisors when adding
or dropping courses, and advisors often make referrals
to other qualified personnel on campus. The academ-
ic advisor is, therefore, the link between the student
and the academic regulations of the university.
The Honors Program
The UNH Honors Program is designed for excep-
tionally motivated students who have shown high levels
of academic achievement. In order to enter the pro-
gram, a student must have completed at least 24 credit
hours with a cumulative grade point average of at least
3.3 at the time the first honors course is undertaken.
Applicants for the program are evaluated on the
basis of high school performance, college performance,
standardized test (SAT, ACT) scores, and recommen-
dations of college teachers.
The university requires every student, regardless of
major, to take a number of core courses in nine gener-
al areas. The Honors Program offers students an intel-
lectually exciting and challenging way to satisfy some
of these core requirements.
Students in the program take one honors seminar
each semester for four semesters. Each seminar
actively involves students in problem solving and
inquiry. Topics in the seminars draw from several dis-
ciplines and study linkages between disciplines. Each
course satisfies one of the university core curriculum
requirements.
Honors Seminars offered recently have included
the following:
"Physics and Music: The Persistence of Symmetry. "
The parallel views of the physicist and the musician
were explored to see how these views developed side-
by-side and where they diverged.
"Cultural Entrepreneurialism." The cultural
importance of Connecticut artifacts was integrated
with their potential as sites for tourism and economic
development. Historical, cultural, literary, and eco-
nomic impacts were assessed in relation to geography,
population, education, and cultural expectations.
"Engineering and Society." Relationships between
engineering and society were investigated by focusing
on environmental concerns.
"Politics and American Art." This course focused
on the major styles and motifs in American art and
architecture and their relationship to American politi-
cal history, attitudes, and concepts from Colonial
times through the 20th century.
"Contexts and Images: African-Americans in
Literature and Film." This course provided an oppor-
tunity to examine literature and film as integral ele-
ments of African-American experience, heritage, and
culture from the Civil War to the present.
After completing the four honors seminars, stu-
dents write an honors thesis in their major discipline
under the guidance of a professor in the major depart-
ment. Up to six credits may be awarded for this thesis.
The results of the research are to be presented orally to
members of the student's major department and to
members of the Honors Committee.
In order to remain in the program, students must
maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least
3.3 throughout their studies at UNH.
Advantages of the Honors Program
In addition to a challenging and exciting curricu-
lum, the Honors Program offers:
Financial Aid: A student who has successfully com-
pleted the four seminar courses described above and
one additional semester of work on an honors thesis,
all with a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or
higher, will be granted a 50% tuition reduction by
UNH for the final semester in residence at UNH.
In addition, students in the Honors Program with
a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher and
who are either rising juniors or seniors are eligible to
apply for one of the six John Hatfield Scholar awards.
These competitive awards are $1000.00 per semester
tuition scholarships, awarded to Honors Program stu-
dents with high grade point averages who are active in
student life and community service. In addition to the
financial award, John Hatfield Scholar recipients
receive special parking privileges, a bronze medallion,
and a certificate of recognition.
Small Classes: Honors program classes provide an
opportunity for participation and discussion in a set-
ting where students know their instructors and their
fellow students especially well.
Recognition: A student who successfully completes
the honors program, including the honors thesis,
will be designated as an Honors Scholar on the tran-
script and on the diploma awarded at graduation.
Thus, prospective employers, graduate schools and
other institutions will be aware of this extra accom-
plishment in the student's pursuit of the undergrad-
uate degree.
Developmental Studies Program
The developmental studies program is designed to
strengthen the basic skills of entering students.
Courses within the program are taught by members of
the faculty of the mathematics department and the
English department.
The English department offers two developmental
courses: El 02 Academic Reading and Speaking and
El 03 English Fundamentals. These courses offer stu-
dents a comprehensive study of the basic reading,
speaking, and writing skills necessary in using the
English language effectively. Ml 03 Fundamental
Mathematics is taught by the mathematics depart-
ment.
Placement in these courses is determined by exam-
inations given by the respective departments. Such
placement becomes a first priority for affected students
because the university believes that such students can
become successful college students only upon correc-
tion of skill deficiencies.
Please note that although E 102, E 103, and M 103
each carry three college credits, these cannot be
applied toward students' degree programs. E 103 and
M 103 usually meet for up to six hours per week to
provide intensive help.
Complete descriptions of the developmental cours-
es appear in this catalog as part of the course offerings
of the mathematics department and the English
department.

first time. FE 001 is mandatory for all incoming first-
time freshmen with no previous college experience and
is a requirement for graduation.
A key component of the Freshman Seminar
involves introducing the student to his or her academ-
ic advisor, who will serve as the link between the stu-
dent and the academic regulations of the university.
Freshman Experience Seminar
In their first year, college students face a number
of new challenges. The Freshman Experience Seminar
at UNH is designed to help students make the transi-
tion from high school to college.
This program incorporates the talents of more than
30 university personnel, both faculty and staff, and
reflects the University of New Haven's commitment to
high-quality student advising.
During their first semester, all new freshmen are
required to take the 10-week team-taught FE 001
Freshman Experience Seminar, which addresses such
topics as academic standards, diversity, time and stress
management, college life vs. high school life, universi-
ty relationships, responsible human sexuality, explo-
ration of self, alcohol and substance abuse, and real-life
learning. The goal of this seminar is to give students
the tools to help them understand and succeed in what
can be, and increasingly is becoming, a very competi-
tive environment. FE 001 is also a wonderful support
system for students who are away from home for the

THE UNIVERSITY
COMMUNITY
The University of New Haven provides an environ-
ment designed to foster the personal growth of its stu-
dents. Through its programs, services, and facilities, it
provides the opportunity for students to become
involved in meaningful activities which can develop
into lifelong interests. These activities include recre-
ational, social, community outreach, professional, and,
of course, academic pursuits. In addition, the campus
provides most of the services needed to assure the com-
fort and well-being of its students.
Academic Support Services
Academic services are provided to facilitate and
enhance students' academic progress through the uni-
versity by furnishing guided access to advisory sources
and ancillary support systems. Many of the available
services are described below.
Office of Academic Services
The Office of Academic Services, located in Maxcy
Hall, provides a wide range of academic support to day
and evening undergraduate students.
Academic Skills Counselors work with students
individually or in small groups to strengthen abilities
or make referrals to other qualified personnel on cam-
pus. They help students develop an individualized
study strategy that focuses on textbook reading, lecture
note-taking, time management, learning and memory
strategies, and test-taking skills.
The office provides monitoring services to enable
counselors, mentors, and coaches to assess students'
progress in their courses. The office coordinates the
efforts of the mentors responsible for working with
students who are enrolled in the developmental math
and English courses. The office also provides advisors
for the activities of both the day and evening Honor
Societies and the Evening Student Council. The office
provides access to the Student Ombudsman, who can
assist in the resolution of student complaints, per-
ceived grievances, and/or concerns.
Center for Learning Resources
The Center for Learning Resources (CLR) offers
free tutoring to students seeking extra help with their
studies. The tutoring staff, over 25 instructors in all, is
comprised largely of professionals who hold advanced
degrees in their fields and who are committed to aid-
ing the learning process. Tutoring is available six days
a week throughout each semester.
The CLR includes four labs: The Math Lab offers
help with mathematics, science, and business courses;
the Writing Lab offers help with all writing assign-
ments. Both labs operate primarily on a drop-in basis,
but the Writing Lab also offers appointments. The
two computer labs have the latest Microsoft software,
math tutorials, and Internet access. The larger of these
labs is available for classroom teaching.
Developmental Studies Program
The developmental studies program is designed to
strengthen the basic skills of entering students. Courses
within the program are taught by members of the facul-
ty of the Mathematics department and the English
department. (See the University Curricula section of
this catalog for additional information)
Freshman Experience Seminar
The Freshman Experience Seminar at UNH is de-
signed to smooth the transition of full-time students
from high school into the substantially different envi-
ronment of a university. (See the University Curricula
section of this catalog for additional information.)
The University Community 21
Student Services
The University of New Haven cares deeply about
the well-being of its students. A variety of services are
available on campus to meet needs ranging from career
advising to health care. Every effort is made to accom-
modate special student needs, such as helping interna-
tional students to adjust to a new culture or ensuring
that classes and facilities are readily accessible to stu-
dents with disabilities. Many of the available services
are described in the following pages.
Campus Card Office/Parking Permits
The UNH Campus Card offers many services and
advantages for ail members of the UNH campus com-
munity. The Campus Card is a credit-card sized, color
photo identification card. It is to be used as the official
UNH library card and residential meal plan card, for
security access identification, and for a number of
other services.
All new students are required to obtain a Campus
Card in order to register for a parking permit. The
Campus Card must be renewed by all returning stu-
dents at the beginning of the Fall term every year.
Campus Card photos are taken at Echlin Hall on the
main campus. Campus Card Office hours are posted
at the beginning of each term.
Resident freshmen are not permitted to have vehicles
on campus, or parked on city streets in the neighbor-
hoods adjacent to campus.
In the interest of maintaining good relations with
our neighbors, it is important that resident students
limit parking to the designated ON CAMPUS parking
areas. Resident student parking on city streets in the
neighborhoods adjacent to campus is prohibited by the
University. Vehicles in violation are subject to
University sanctions including, but not limited to,
UNH parking tickets.
The University of New Haven is not responsible for
damage to, or theft from, personal vehicles parked on
university property.
New students may obtain a main campus parking
sticker for their cars or motorcycles at the Campus
Card Office or at the University Police Office located
in the lower level of the Campus Bookstore. All cars
must display a UNH parking sticker; vehicles parked
in violation may be ticketed or towed. Detailed infor-
mation on parking regulations, violations, and report-
ing of accidents is contained in the Student Handbook.
University Police Office
The staff of the University Police Office, located in
the lower level of the Campus Bookstore, are certified
police officers who undergo continuous training and
who have been trained in emergency medical proce-
dures, first aid, and CPR. They conduct regularly
scheduled campus patrols and work closely with local,
state, and federal agencies to enforce the laws of the
State of Connecticut, especially those most pertinent
to campus safety and security. The University Police
Office is fully staffed 24 hours a day.
Career Development Office
The Career Development Office (CDO) provides a
wide range of employment-related services to the entire
university community, including undergraduates, gradu-
ate students, and alumni. We assist in the preparation of
key documents: the resume, the cover letter, the thank-
you letter. We give pointers on essential interview skills.
Students can check our listings of local part-time posi-
tions, including some on-campus ones, throughout the
school year. (The Financial Aid Office will help with
information on college work-study.) Students may also
review our internship listings for Connecticut and sur-
rounding states. Students must consult their departmen-
tal advisor to obtain an internship. In addition, we main-
tain an extensive library of important information on
various career choices as well as on requirements for
graduate and professional programs and degrees.
Students should be alert to our ongoing advertise-
ments. We sponsor frequent opportunities in the form of
job fairs, visits, discussions, and interview sessions with
expert representatives from business, industry, and gov-
ernment employers. Our best advice: Take advantage of
our services as early as possible, even before you begin
the actual job search. We welcome your visits to our
office in 210 Kaplan Hall.

Student Employment
During each academic year, employer representa-
tives visit the campus to interview graduating
University of New Haven students. While the CDO is
not an employment service and does not guarantee
jobs, it does maintain extensive listings of both fuU-
and part-time positions to provide a common meeting
ground for employers and prospective employees. Stu-
dents will find this useful in locating part-time and
full-time jobs while in school and employment follow-
ing graduation as well. Alumni seeking positions are
also encouraged to use the services of the office.
Employers wishing to list positions need only call
or write, giving a description of the position available
and other pertinent details. There is no placement fee
charged for these services.
Information
The CDO publishes updates of recruiter visits in
The Charger Bulletin as well as information regarding
Career Development events, the employment outlook
for graduates, and job search hints. Career Develop-
ment information is also provided in Insight, the UNH
alumni publication.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education (Co-op) is an academic
support program that enables students to combine
career-oriented, paid, full-time or part-time work
experience with their college education. Co-op stu-
dents benefit by being able to explore career interests
firsthand, by gaining valuable work experience related
to their majors, and by earning money to assist with
their college expenses.
How Co-op Works
Students should inquire about Co-op when they
begin their degree programs. Work assignments start
later, usually at the end of the sophomore year. The
keys to a successful Co-op experience are flexibility
and preparation. Co-op coordinators advise and coun-
sel students in each academic area, helping students to
prepare resumes and develop interview skills.
The flexibility of the UNH Co-op program gives
students a chance to schedule plans of study and work
which fit their needs. Undergraduate students attend
classes for the first two years of college, and they pre-
pare for work assignments which start at the end of the
sophomore year. Juniors and seniors alternate classes
with co-op work which may last four or six months.
Transfer students typically complete one semester on
campus and may then enter the co-op cycle, provided
that they have completed their sophomore year.
Individual cases vary, and students should review their
needs with Co-op coordinators.
The variety and number of co-op employers
attest to their recognition that cooperative education
is an effective way to identify and train future
employees. Active co-op employers include:
American Cyanamid, Black & Decker, Corometrics,
Dow UT, Dictaphone, Pitney Bowes, Pratt &
Whitney, Sikorsky, and Remington Products as well
as state and federal agencies. Student assignments
include computer programming, accounting, coun-
seling, criminal investigation, and engineering. Stu-
dents may live in university housing while doing
work assignments in the greater New Haven area, or
they may work with their Co-op coordinators to
develop jobs closer to home.
Interested students interested will meet with a Co-op
coordinator to review eligibility requirements and the
plan of study for their degree program. Co-op plans vary,
which makes it important for students in the College of
Arts and Sciences and in the Schools of Business,
Engineering and Applied Science, Public Safety and Pro-
fessional Studies, and Hospitality and Tourism to take
advantage of the individual attention their Co-op coor-
dinators will provide. Students should contact the Dean's
office of their college/school to be directed to the appro-
priate Co-op coordinator.
Counseling Center
The Counseling Center offers services designed
to help students with problems that may interfere
with their academic, social, or personal activities.
The services provided include confidential personal.
The University Community 23
academic, and vocational counseling and testing,
personality assessment, and educational assessment.
Disability Services and Resources
The Disability Services and Resources Office is
responsible for and committed to providing services
and support that promote educational equity for stu-
dents with disabilities, either temporary or permanent.
The office provides assistance and information on
issues of access and full participation for students with
disabilities. Any UNH student with a disabling condi-
tion can benefit from these services. Referrals and
inquiries concerning matters relating to students with
disabilities and/or reasonable accommodations should
be directed to this office.
The staff work with those who self-identify in the
following categories:
mobility/orthopedic disabilities
specific learning disabilities
attention-deficit disorders
vision and hearing impairments
head injuries
psychological/emotional disorders
chronic health-related disabilities
speech impairments
Staff members serve as advocates, liaisons, and
planners for ensuring access to academic, cultural, and
recreational offerings of the campus and are available
to students whenever questions or problems arise. The
director assists the university's 504/ADA Compliance
Officer with oversight of the university's compliance
with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other
government regulations. The director also handles stu-
dent grievances, whether informal or formal, regarding
allegations of discrimination based on disability.
In order to receive accommodations and/or services,
a student is responsible for self-identifying as a student
with a disability, submitting appropriate documentation,

year (30 semester hours) of college-level work must
submit official test scores of the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT). Our
SAT code is 3663, and our ACT code is 0576.
Students who have completed more than one full
year of college-level work are not usually required
to submit standardized test scores. However, the
Admissions Office reserves the right to request this
information if necessary. .
• In most cases, transfer students will receive a tentative
transfer credit evaluation at the time of acceptance.
To help expedite the evaluation procedure, we ask
that you forward with your application materials a
current catalog from all institutions attended.
Admission Procedure:
International Students
The university admits international students for
both fall and spring semesters. Official academic tran-
scripts from all institutions previously attended,
including secondary school, must accompany the
admission application. Applicants whose native lan-
guage is not English must take the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 190
computer-based/ 520 paper-based is required. The
university also accepts a minimum score of 5.5 on the
International English Language Testing System
(lELTS).
Students who have been educated in English-speak-
ing systems may substitute the SAT or ACT for the
TOEFL. Depending on their academic background,
students transferring from accredited institutions
within the United States may also be required to sub-
mit TOEFL scores. Verification of financial support
also must accompany the admission application.
Academically qualified applicants who do not meet
the English language proficiency requirements can
choose to complete an intensive English program
approved by the University of New Haven. The uni-
versity has an agreement with the ELS Language
Centers (ELS) www.els.com and Embassy CES
www.embassyces.com to provide intensive English
training.
Undergraduate Admission Policy
Students are admitted full-time (four-course or
five-course, 12-15 credit enrollment and registration
load) or part-time (up to 1 1 credits). Acceptances are
customized, and students are placed according to their
academic needs.
Placement
Incoming students are placed in courses in English
and mathematics according to their individual abilities
as demonstrated through the university placement
testing program or previous college records. Students
whose major requires chemistry may be required to
take a chemistry placement test.
Some students may be placed in courses designed to
upgrade their skills in particular subject areas and pre-
pare them for more advanced courses at the university.
Part-Time Admissions
The part-time Evening Division provides the op-
portunity for both returning adults and traditional-age
students to pursue specific program certificates and
associate's or bachelor's degrees without the hours per
week and financial constraints that full-time study
requires. The degrees conferred by the university are
identical for both full- and part-time students, with no
distinction made for programs completed by part-time
study alone.
Students enrolled in the part-time Evening Division
may register for 1 to 1 1 credit hours per semester.
34
Admission Procedure
• Complete an undergraduate admission application,
and return it to the Undergraduate
Admissions Office with the nonrefundable appli-
cation fee.
• An official copy of your secondary school tran-
script must be submitted. A satisfactory General
Equivalency Diploma (GED) is acceptable in
place of a high school diploma.
• Arrange to have official transcripts from all col-
leges/universities attended forwarded to the
Undergraduate Admissions Office.
A students taking any course, whether for a degree
or not, must meet admission requirements.
Credit for Prior Learning
We recognize that many adult students have
acquired knowledge through approaches other than for-
mal coursework. A variety of procedures can measure
and validate such achievement. Students should contact
the Undergraduate Admissions Office for the latest
information on crediting procedures.
Some commonly used procedures are:

Registration 35
REGISTRATION
Full-Time Registration
Registration is the process oi selecting classes each
term. Registration includes faculty advising, a prelim-
inary choice of classes, and fee payment. Final regis-
tration is not complete without these steps.
Students have assigned faculty advisors who pro-
vide guidance on academic matters and help students
with the registration process. Normally, the advisor is
the chair or coordinator of the student's major course
of study or another faculty member designated by the
chair.
There are two parts to registration: the completion
of the registration forms and the payment of tuition.
There may be a penalty fee for delaying either of these
two processes beyond the end of the registration peri-
od and/or tuition due date.
Registration dates and procedures for currently
enrolled full-time students will be posted in advance.
A separate registration is required for each of the
semesters, for summer sessions, for the winter interses-
sion, and for the accelerated modules.
All new students who have paid the enrollment
deposit will be mailed information about registration.
Prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters, an
orientation/registration program is held, at which time
new students will select their courses.
Social Security numbers will be used on student
records; students should be sure to bring their number
when registering. Prospective students who do not
have a U.S. Social Security number should apply for
one before registration. Students from other countries
who do not have U.S. Social Security numbers will be
given a temporary number by the university; however,
they are encouraged to apply for a U.S. Social Security
number as soon as possible.
In conjunction with academic advisors, students
are urged to plan their programs carefully before com-
pleting the registration forms, in order to avoid the
need for requesting changes. Once the registration is
completed, students must use signed drop/add cards
to make changes.
Please note: No new full-time student will be per-
mitted to register for classes until:
1. The nonrefundable enrollment deposit has
been paid.
2. Tuition in full for the semester has been received.
Students relying on financial aid to cover all or
part of a semester's expenses must present evi-
dence of the amount of money awarded. No new
part-time student will be allowed to register for
classes until tuition payment or financial aid
arrangements have been made.
Course Overload Restrictions: Full-Time Students
Full-time students who wish to register for more
than 15 semester hours in any one semester must fol-
low special procedures and guidelines.
If the total number of courses to be attempted is 6
and is in excess of the hours specified on the student's
worksheet, the student must obtain written permission
from his or her advisor and department chair and, in
most instances, must have a cumulative qualit)' point
ratio of 3.20 or higher.
If the total number of courses to be attempted is
more than 6, the student must obtain written permis-
sion from his or her advisor, department chair, and
academic dean. Such students are required to have a
cumulative quality point ratio of 3.20 or higher.
Part-Time Registration
Students may register by mail prior to the an-
nounced deadline. A separate registration is required
for each academic term students wish to attend.
Auditors follow the same procedure and pay the same
tuition and fees as students enrolled tor credit.
The student completes the registration procedure
by paying tuition and fees. There may be a penalty for
delaying beyond the end of the registration period.
To avoid the need for changes, students are urged
to plan their programs carefiilly before completing reg-
istration forms . Once the registration process has been
36
completed, a change of registration requires the use of
drop/add cards.
Course Overload Restrictions: Part-Time Students
Part-time students are restricted to a maximum of
1 1 credit hours in any given term or semester, includ-
ing the combined sessions of summer school.
Students wishing to take more than 1 1 credit hours
per term or semester must complete the Internal
Transfer Form in order to change student status to that
of a full-time day student. Full-Time Division tuition
rates would then apply.
In some limited circumstances, part-time students
nearing graduation may be allowed to exceed the 1 1
credit hour per term policy. Only students who satisfy
the following criteria will be eligible:
1 . 1 2 or more credit hours are needed for gradua-
tion, and successful completion of the registered
courses in one term would enable graduation.
2. Only courses required for graduation are included.
3. Part-time status was continuously maintained
during the previous semester.
Students must apply for this credit overload by
obtaining the appropriate form from the office of the
Undergraduate Registrar and securing the necessary
approvals.
Alumni Audits
Alumni who audit courses pay a reduced tuition
but must be cleared through the Alumni Office before
registering. Auditing courses at the reduced rate is lim-
ited to courses at or below the level of the degree
earned by the student at UNH.
Certificates
Students can take their first step toward an under-
graduate degree by registering for certificates.
Each certificate is carefully designed as an intro-
duction to a particular course of study. Later, students
may choose to apply toward an undergraduate degree
the credits they have earned.
Each certificate consists of a series of courses, usu-
ally 15 credit hours or more in a specialized area. A
minimum of one-half of the credit hours must be com-
pleted in residence. Please contact the appropriate aca-
demic department or Nicolas Spina, Director of
Evening Services and Accelerated Program at
nspina@newhaven.edu.
Summer Sessions
Day and evening undergraduate courses are offered
during the summer in a series of sessions ranging from
four to eight weeks in length. The first session begins
shortly after the close of the spring semester. Resident
dormitory students may therefore continue their stud-
ies uninterrupted through the entire summer.
The university welcomes visiting students from
other colleges and universities who wish to transfer
summer course credits back to their institutions.
Credits earned at the University of New Haven are
generally accepted by other schools, but students are
urged to consult with their home institutions for any
special requirements or procedures for credit transfer.
University of New Haven students can attend one
or more of the UNH summer sessions to lighten their
study load during the regular academic year, to reduce
the time required for a degree, to prepare for other
courses, to make up courses, or to take additional work
beyond that required for a degree and still complete a
program on schedule.
A list of courses offered during the summer is avail-
able in March.
Intersession Courses
A number of undergraduate courses are offered
during the period between the fall and spring semes-
ters. These courses blend both traditional and innova-
tive methods of instruction, including team teaching,
field trips, lectures, laboratory work, and research proj-
ects. A list of courses offered during Intersession is
available in November.

Ways of Earning Credit
Academic Credit
Academic credit is granted on a credit hour basis.
In addition to successfully completing regular courses,
students may earn credit by independent study, coor-
dinated courses, crediting exams or CLEP exams, or
transfer of previously awarded credit from other insti-
tutions. These methods are detailed in the following
pages of this section.
Transfer of Credit to the University
Students may transfer to the university after com-
pleting academic work at other institutions.
Applications should be made to the Director of
Admissions. If feasible, potential transfer students
should visit the university and discuss their transfer
credit situation with the chair or dean administering
the program of interest. Normally, the university
accepts credit from regionally accredited colleges on an
equivalency basis. The regional institutional accredita-
tion bodies in the U.S. are Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of
Schools and Colleges, North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, Northwest Association of
Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools, and Western Association of
Schools and Colleges.
Students transferring from another institution
must have at least a 2.0 quality point ratio based on a
four-point scale. Credit is normally granted for those
courses completed with at least a grade of C, or its
equivalent. Credit is not awarded for pass/fail courses.
38
Credit transferred from a two-year institution is gen-
erally limited to 60 credit hours and restricted to fresh-
man- and sophomore-level courses, unless otherwise
approved in writing by the dean of the school in which
the student seeks to enroll. Credit granted may be used
for degree requirements if the transfer credit is for
courses equivalent to the UNH requirements.
When a student's application is complete, a tentative
analysis is made of transfer credit available. Final deci-
sions on transfer credit are made by department chairs
and must conform to school and university policies.
Prospective students may be required to take qualifying
or placement examinations for specific courses.
Plans of study for a University of New Haven
degree should be agreed upon by both the transfer stu-
dent and the department early in the first term of
attendance in order to avoid course duplication and
academic discontinuity.
For Transfer of Student Status, see following pages.
Courses Available at Other Colleges
University of New Haven students interested in
taking courses at other colleges and universities should
discuss this matter directly with their departments and
consult the statement of policy established by the
undergraduate school in which they are enrolled.
Coordinated Courses
In order to maintain continuity in a degree pro-
gram, students are encouraged to use UNH Summer
Sessions and Winter Intersession; however, courses
taken by matriculated UNH students at regionally
accredited institutions may be designated as "coordi-
nated courses." Credit for such courses is accepted and
posted on students' permanent records, and the grades
are included in students' quality point ratios.
Credit for courses taken at a two-year institution is
restricted to equivalent UNH courses at the freshman
and sophomore levels. (Students with junior or high-
er standing at UNH may not take coordinated cours-
es at two-year institutions.) Care should be taken in
requesting coordinated course credit for courses given
during intensive terms. It is UNH policy that intensive
terms should span at least 15 meeting days.
Prior authorization for a "coordinated course" desig-
nation must be obtained from the department(s) hous-
ing the student's major and the related course at UNH.
The appropriate form must be obtained at the Registrar's
Office, approved, and returned to that office before the
course begins. Normally, approval is granted only for
those courses which are equivalent to courses offered at
UNH, and/or standard courses in a given discipline
unavailable at UNH because of frequency of offerings,
cancellation, etc., or inaccessible to the student because
of temporary residency at a distant location. Complete
detailed instructions can be found on the Coordinated
Course form.
Students must be continuously matriculated at
UNH while taking a coordinated course. Approval for
a coordinated course will become void upon with-
drawal or dismissal of the student.
Students are responsible for securing an official
transcript upon completion of their work. Official
transcripts must be mailed directly to the Office of the
Registrar at UNH.
Advanced Placement
The university recognizes the program of advanced
placement available to talented high school students
through the College Entrance Examination Board.
Students satisfactorily completing advanced placement
courses in high school and the final examination pre-
pared by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) may be
given appropriate college credit if their courses are simi-
lar to those offered at the University of New Haven.
Educational Testing Service Advanced Placement
examinations are graded from 1 to 5. Credit may be
allowed when the grade earned is 3, 4, or 5. Students
desiring to submit advanced placement courses for col-
lege credit should have all results of these courses and tests
sent in with their application to the Admissions Office.
The University of New Haven accepts credit by
examination from the College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP) subject to academic department
chair approval.
The passing percentile for CLEP and subject exam-
inations is 50. Credit will be evaluated by the appro-
priate department chair.
Academic Regulations 39
Credit by Examination
A student who has at least a 2.0 cumulative QPR
and has independent knowledge of the content of an
undergraduate course offered by the university may,
with the approval of the appropriate department chair
and dean, take a special crediting examination in lieu
of taking the course.
Students are reminded that they must earn at
least 30 semester hours through regular UNH
coursework if they are to meet the residency require-
ments for graduation.
Students may not take crediting examinations
during the first semester in which they are enrolled.
External Credit Examinations
Learning which has been acquired through many
traditional and nontraditional approaches can be
measured and validated by objective procedures
acceptable to the faculty of UNH. This learning must
appropriately parallel the curriculum of the university
in order to be awarded UNH credit.
The Admissions Office maintains a current listing
of organizations which provide testing and other alter-
native credit procedures. The following list cites some
of the more common sources:
College-Level Examination Program (CLEF): This
testing program offers two types of examinations:
(1) the general examinations in the five comprehen-
sive areas of English composition, humanities, social
sciences/history, natural sciences, and mathematics
and (2) the subject examinations. The subject exam-
inations range in value from three to six credits and
are achievement tests in a wide variety of undergrad-
uate college courses, primarily at the basic level. For
information, contact CLEP, ETS, Princeton, NJ
08541.
Proficiency Examination Program (ACT PEP): This
program may also be used to earn credits in certain ac-
ademic areas. For information write ACT PEP
Coordinator, ACT Proficiency Examination Program,
PO. Box 168, Iowa City, lA 52243.
Dantes Subject Standardized Tests (DSST): This is a
program administered by Educational Testing Service
(ETS) in conjunction with DANTES. The examina-
tions are available to all military personnel. For informa-
tion contact the Base Education Services Officer. ETS
has made these examinations available to civilians.
Civilians should contact the Program Administrator,
DSST, ETS, Princeton, NJ 08541.
Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC): The
University of New Haven is a member of the SOC
Bachelor Degrees for Soldiers (BDFS) Network. This
network is open to members of the armed services and
their spouses. For information contact the Admissions
Office or the Base Education Services Officer.
Modern Language Association Foreign Language
Proficiency Tests (MLA): The MLA comprehensive
tests are available in French, German, Italian, Russian,
and Spanish. Undergraduate students may take
Battery A of the examination only. Battery A includes
speaking, writing, reading, and listening comprehen-
sion components.
Military Service School Courses: The university may
also accept as transfer credit certain courses completed
during in-service training. Veterans should request
that official transcripts of in-service training be sent to
the Admissions Office at the university.
Army, Navy, or Coast Guard veterans should write
to: National Personnel Records Center, Military
Personnel Records, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis,
MO 63132.
Marine Corps veterans should write to: Comman-
dant, U.S. Marine Corps (Code DGK) Headquarters,
U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, DC 20308.
Air Force veterans should write to: Community
College of the Air Force, Maxwell Air Force Base,
Montgomery, AL 361 12.
Enrollees on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces
should arrange for DD Form 295 "Application for the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences During Military
Service" to be completed and forwarded to the
40
Admissions OflPice from the duty station. Veterans of any
period of active service should provide the university
with a copy of DD Form 214 or other notice of separa-
tion for each period of service. This may assist in identi-
fying possible sources of academic credit.
Advanced Study
Advanced study courses are offered to qualified stu-
dents in the departments offering the degrees of bach-
elor of science or bachelor of arts. These courses may
include a thesis, tutorial work, or independent study
which permits the student to work intensively in areas
of special interest.
Independent Study
In all courses of independent study the student and
an advisor must joindy file a project outline with the reg-
istrar within four weeks of the beginning of the course.
This outline shall serve as the basis for determining sat-
isfactory completion of course requirements.
Normally, independent study is restricted to no
more than six credits and open only to seniors, juniors,
and exceptionally qualified sophomores. Students
must have at least a 3.0 quality point ratio.
Regularly scheduled courses (that is, those offered
at least once every four semesters) are not normally
acceptable as independent study.
Field Experience
In all courses of field experience, including intern-
ships, practical theses, and work study, students will
earn credit for the learning gained through the activi-
ty. The student and advisor must jointly file a project
outline with the registrar within four weeks of the
beginning of the course. This outline shall serve as the
basis for establishing the mechanism by which the
advisor will evaluate the learning to occur and thus for
determining completion of course requirements.
Please consult the academic deans to determine any
restrictions.
Academic Status and Progress
Fuli-Time Students
Full-time student status is attained by registering
for a minimum of 12 charge credits per semester, or
equivalent term, on either a matriculated or non-
matriculated basis. Such status is continued to a suc-
ceeding term provided a minimum of 12 credits are
completed in the term of record. Completion is
defined as receipt of a letter grade of A+ through
D-, F, S, or U. Other letter grades do not signify
course completion.
Full-time students are eligible for all daytime stu-
dent activities and benefits and are subject to Full-
Time Division tuition charges and other relevant fees.
It is assumed that full-time students will select the
great majority, if not all, of their courses from daytime
course schedules, unless needed courses are unavailable
during the day.
Part-Time Students
Students who register for 1 through 1 1 charge cred-
its during a semester maintain part-time status. Part-
time status may be held by students attending UNH
during the day or in the evening.
Matriculation
Matriculation is the formal act of registering to
study for a specific degree offered by the university.
Matriculation is, therefore, not automatic. A student
must request matriculation by seeking admission to a
specific university degree program. Formal acceptance
into a degree program shall constitute the granting of
matriculation.
Students seeking credit to be transferred to another
institution, or wishing simply to audit courses or to
take them without working toward a degree, need not
matriculate. Nonmatriculated students must register
to take their chosen courses, however, and will be
allowed to enroll in courses only as space permits. It is
the student's responsibility to seek matriculation
should he or she later decide to pursue a University of
New Haven degree.
Academic Regulations 41
Academic Worksheets
Generally, matriculating students are and remain
subject to those requirements defined in the under-
graduate catalog and listed on the academic worksheet
in effect for the semester of initial enrollment.
If students change academic majors, they will be
subject to the requirements of the catalog/worksheet
in effect at the time of the change.
If students withdraw or are dismissed from the uni-
versity and decide to return at a later date, they will be
subject to the requirements of the catalog/worksheet
in effect at the time of their return.
Part-time students are permitted a total of three
semesters (consecutive or otherwise) of break in study
during which they may continue on the original aca-
demic worksheet. After the three-semester limit has
been reached, students will be subject to the require-
ments of the new catalog/worksheet in effect at that
time.
If students initiate a leave of absence, they will con-
tinue on the same academic worksheet upon their
return to the university. However, students who fail to
return after the designated leave of absence period will
be considered withdrawn students and subject to the
catalog/worksheet requirements outlined above.
Students who begin their studies based on a cata-
log/worksheet which subsequently changes may
request to use the latest worksheet for that major;
however, students are not required to switch to the
current worksheet when a change occurs unless they
have been away from the university as described
above.
Class
In order to be classified as a sophomore, a student
must have completed 27 credit hours in an approved
program; a junior, 57 credit hours; a senior, 87 credit
hours; a fifth-year student, 1 17 credit hours.
Transfer of Student Status
Day to Evening transfer. Full-time students who
wish to become part-time students may do so by obtain-
ing the InternaJ Transfer Form from the Registrar's
Office. Upon approval, this form is then brought to the
Registrar for processing and registration of courses.
Please note: Part-time students are generally
restricted to taking courses in the evening and may not
exceed 1 1 credit hours per term.
Evening to Day transfer. Part-time students who
desire to take more than 1 1 credit hours per term must
become full-time students. This process requires the
student to obtain the Internal Transfer Form from the
Registrar's Office. Upon approval, the form is then
brought to the Registrar for processing and registra-
tion of courses.
Major
Each matriculated student must designate a specif-
ic degree program, called a major. Major program
requirements are detailed in the catalog under the rel-
evant department listing. A minimum cumulative 2.0
QPR in major courses is required for graduation. See
program requirements for further clarification of spe-
cific courses/requirements.
Minor
Many baccalaureate programs may be supplemented
by an associated minor program, which normally
includes five or six courses. The university encourages
students to augment their major program with an asso-
ciated minor. Details can be obtained from the appro-
priate department.
A worksheet for the minor, developed by the appro-
priate department, must be submitted to the
Registrar's office in order for a student to receive cred-
it for the minor. A minimum of one half of the cours-
es required for any minor must be completed in resi-
dence at UNH.
Grading System
Undergraduate students are able to change their The following grading system, in use since
student status according to the following procedure: September 1, 1987, applies except where otherwise
specified, both to examinations and to term work. The
42
weight of a final examination grade is a matter indi-
vidually determined by each instructor. See the
Quality Point Ratio section below for additional infor-
mation.
A+ -Excellent = 4.3 quality points
A -Excellent = 4.0 quality points
A- -Excellent = 3.7 quality points
B+ -Good = 3.3 quality points
B -Good = 3.0 quality points
B- -Good = 2.7 quality points
C+ -Fair = 2.3 quality points
C -Fair = 2.0 quality points
C- -Fair = 1 .7 quality points
D+ -Poor =1.3 quality points
D -Poor = 1.0 quality point
D- -Poor, lowest
passing grade = 0.7 quality points
F -Failure = quality points
AU -Audit. Indicates course was attended without
expectation of credit or grade, (o quality
points)
I -Incomplete. Indicates one of the following two
possibilities:
1. Some work remains to be completed to gain
academic credit for the course. An I is assigned
in the first instance at the discretion of the
instructor. This assignment shall not be auto-
matic but shall be based upon an evaluation of
the student's work completed up to that point
and an assessment of the student's ability to
complete course requirements within the
allowed time limit. Work to remove an I must
be performed within the 12 months following
the last day of the semester in which the I is
incurred or earlier if the instructor so requires.
When such work is completed, the instructor
will assign a final grade for the course.
2. The student has failed to complete unfulfilled
academic assignments within the specified 12
months, and the grade of I has been entered on
the student's permanent transcript. No further
opportunity to complete the course will be
available to the student after this time. (0 qual-
ity points)
DNA -Did Not Attend. Indicates nonattendance in a
course for which a student had previously registered
but not officially dropped (0 quality points)
W -Withdrawal. Indicates withdrawal from the
course after the first half of the semester or
withdrawal from the university after the
twelfth week of classes. The grade of W will
not be assigned to any student who has taken
the final examination in the course. (0 quality
points)
S —Satisfactory. Given only in noncredit courses. (0
quality points)
U -Unsatisfactory. Given only in noncredit
courses. (0 quality points)
Grade Reports
Reports of the final grade in each subject will be
mailed to the student soon after the close of each
Grade reports may be withheld from students who
have delinquent accounts with the Business Office,
Campus Police, Library, Housing, Athletics, Health
Services, or the Campus Bookstore.
Quality Point Ratio
The academic standing of each student is deter-
mined on the basis of the quality point ratio earned
each semester. The quality point ratio (QPR) is deter-
mined by using the quality points assigned to each
grade a student earns.
The quality point value for each grade earned dur-
ing a semester is multiplied by the number of credit
hours assigned to that course as listed elsewhere in this
catalog. The sum of these points is the total number of
quality points earned during the semester.
This sum is divided by the number of credit hours
attempted (hours from courses with grades of A+
through F) to obtain the quality point ratio.
The cumulative quality point ratio is obtained by
calculating the quality point ratio for all courses
attempted at the University of New Haven. Course
grades of AU, DNA, I, S, U, and W are not calculat-
ed in the overall QPR since they carry no quality
points.
Academic Regulations 43
See the "Grading System" section above for more
information.
Satisfactory Progress
For students matriculated in the Full-Time Divi-
sion, satisfactory progress toward a degree is defined
as successful completion of 24 credits applicable to
that degree program during an academic year. This
should include registration for at least 12 credits per
semester and successful completion of at least nine
credits per semester. "Completion" is defined as the
receipt of a final letter grade (A+ to F) but not the
receipt of a Withdrawal (W), Did Not Attend
(DNA), or an Incomplete (I). "Successful comple-
tion" is defined as the receipt of a passing letter grade
(A+ to D-). Decisions on student status are made by
the Registrar.
Students are required to maintain a minimum
cumulative quality point ratio in accordance with the
following scale:
Quality point ratio of 1.50 for 3 to 30 credit hours
attempted
Quality point ratio of 1.60 for 31 to 45 credit hours
attempted
Quality point ratio of 1 .70 for 46 to 60 credit hours
attempted
Quality point ratio of 1.80 for 61 to 75 credit hours
attempted
Quality point ratio of 1.90 for 76 to 90 credit hours
attempted
Quality point ratio of 2.00 for 91 or more credit
hours attempted.
Dean's List
The dean's list honors students who demonstrate
excellence in their academic performance. Full-time
students who earn a quality point ratio of 3.50 or bet-
ter in any one semester will be appointed to the dean's
list for that semester.
Part-time students who have accumulated a mini-
mum of 14 credit hours of coursework at the universi-
ty will automatically be considered for the dean's list at
the end of each semester. A cumulative quality point
ratio of 3.50 or better is required.
Probation and Dismissal
Failure to maintain satisfactory progress as defined
previously will place students on academic probation
for the following semester of enrollment. Students are
automatically dismissed when they receive a third pro-
bation (or, if readmitted from a previous dismissal, any
subsequent probation) or when their quality point
ratio for any one semester is less than 1 .0.
First-semester freshmen earning a quality point ratio
less than 1 .0 are automatically referred to the Academic
Standing and Admissions Committee, which may spec-
ify conditions for continued enrollment. A notation of
committee action shall appear on the student's perma-
nent record.
Students who fail to maintain the minimum QPR
for satisfactory progress but are not dismissed are
placed on academic probation. Probation serves as a
warning that lack of improvement will eventually pre-
vent satisfaction of graduation requirements. Because
UNH is dedicated to helping students to be successful,
probationary students are required to work with
assigned academic skills counselors.
Students on probation are limited to four courses
(13 credits) during the term of their probationary sta-
tus. They may also be required to retake courses in
which they performed poorly. The university may void
a registration for more than four courses. Also, any
courses above the four-course limit taken at another
institution during a period of probation will not be
accepted in transfer to UNFi.
Academic probation of transfer students is deter-
mined in accordance with the same graduated, mini-
mum cumulative quality point ratio scale as for non-
transfer students as detailed above. In determining a
transfer student's academic standing, the student's
total semester hours completed-those transferred from
other colleges plus those received at the University of
New Haven— are applied to the minimum cumulative
quality point ratio scale.
Repetition of Work
A course which a student has completed may be
repeated only with the consent of the chair of the
department which offers the course. If a student
44
achieves a higher grade in the second attempt, that
grade rather than the first will be used to compute the
cumulative quality point ratio. However, both the
higher and lower grades in the course remain on the
student's permanent record.
When credit for a graded course previously
attempted at UNH is earned through a method which
does not carry a grade with a quality point value, the
previous instance of that course will be removed from
the cumulative QPR calculation. However, both
instances will be recorded on the student's permanent
record and transcript.
Dismissal/Readmission Procedure
Students are dismissed from the university at the
end of each semester or trimester on the basis of the
criteria listed in "Probation and Dismissal." Notifi-
cation is made by the Registrar via certified letter. This
letter will specify the time span for appeal (normally
five days) and the criteria for appeal.
Upon written submission by the student, an appeal
will be heard by the Academic Standing and
Admissions Committee. If the appeal has merit and is
granted, the student will be so notified by the chair of
the committee. The committee may require special
arrangements or conditions to allow the student to con-
tinue. Satisfaction of such conditions is an obligation of
the student.
If there is no appeal or if an appeal is denied, the stu-
dent will be removed from any courses for which the stu-
dent is registered that have not yet begun. The student
may continue in any intersession or summer course
which began before the date of dismissal but may not
start any courses after dismissal is effective. Dismissal
action will be noted on the student's academic transcript.
A third probation will result in dismissal from the
university. The student will be allowed to complete any
incomplete courses (subject to established rules and
restrictions), and grades/credits earned will be trans-
ferrable to other institutions. However, the dismissal
will remain irrevocable, not subject to appeal.
Readmission
Application for readmission of students who have
been dismissed and who either did not appeal or
whose appeal was denied normally will be considered
only after the lapse of a semester and only when stu-
dents provide evidence which indicates probable suc-
cess if readmitted.
Unusual circumstances may permit earlier applica-
tion if a student's dean and department chair success-
fully petition the committee to review the applicant's
case.
Requests for readmission should be submitted in
writing to the chair of the committee at least three
weeks before the opening of the semester and should
include evidence supporting the student's belief that
he or she will succeed if readmitted.
A student who has been absent from the university for
one or more semesters must submit a new application
and pay another application fee. If the student has attend-
ed another college or university in the interim, an official
academic transcript is required from that institution.
Following the receipt of the above material, action will be
taken on the application for readmission. Since the stu-
dent is not matriculated at UNH during this period, no
coordinated courses will be accepted. Upon successftil
readmission, students will register for classes for the first
term of their return through the Undergraduate
Admissions Office.
Readmission is not automatic. The committee
reviews each application and makes a decision on
acceptance, rejection, or conditional acceptance of stu-
dents.
A student who is academically dismissed and read-
mitted by the Academic Standing and Admissions
Com.mittee may be prohibited from continuing with
the academic program in which he or she was enrolled
at the time of the dismissal. If the committee readmits
the student to a new program, the student shall have
the same automatic right to enrollment in that pro-
gram as any other newly admitted student.
Changes
Dropping/ Adding a Class
Students who wish to make a change in class sched-
ule must complete a Drop Card or an Add Card or
Academic Regulations 45
both. These are available from the Registrar's Office.
All adds and drops require the signature of the instruc-
tor and the student's advisor. In the case of part-time
evening students, drops require the signature of the
instructor only, although it is recommended that stu-
dents consult with their advisors.
The last date to add classes is two weeks into the
semester and is listed in the academic calendar. No
classes may be added after this date. All changes
should be completed prior to the second week of
class so that students may be properly registered in
the correct sections.
Withdrawal from a Class
Students desiring to withdraw formally from a class
may do so before the last day to drop courses as pub-
lished in the academic calendar. Formal withdrawal
removes the student's name from the class roll and
removes the course listing from the student's record
and transcript. The student must obtain a Drop Card
from the Registrar's Office, complete it, sign it, and
obtain the signature of the instructor and advisor. The
card is then returned to the Registrar's Office.
Students withdrawing from a class after the last day
to drop courses will receive a grade for the course as
assigned by the faculty. The course and grade will
appear on the student's grade report and transcript.
Filing a Drop Card does not qualify the student for
cancellation of any university tuition or fee. Tuition
refunds are subject to the refund policy outlined else-
where in this catalog.
Changing a Major
Students wishing to make a change in major or pro-
gram must meet with the chair of the department into
which they wish to transfer. In consultation with the
student, the chair will prepare a change of major form
and forward it to the Registrar's Office.
Leave of Absence
Matriculated students may interrupt continuous
enrollment by electing to take a leave of absence from
the university for medical or personal reasons, to pur-
sue a program of study at another institution, or to
engage in other off-campus educational experiences
without severing their connection with the University
of New Haven through withdrawal. Before taking a
leave of absence, students are encouraged to discuss
their particular situation with an academic advisor, the
dean of their school, or a counselor in the Counseling
Center.
The rules regarding leaves of absence are:
• All noninternational students must file for a leave
of absence through the Registrar's Office; interna-
tional students must initiate the leave of absence
through the International Student Services Office.
• Students who are on university disciplinary proba-
tion are not eligible for a leave of absence.
• A student who has been dropped or dismissed from
the university for disciplinary or academic reasons
is not eligible for a leave of absence until properly
reinstated.
• A student who has withdrawn as a degree candidate
is not eligible for a leave of absence. If a student
withdraws while on leave of absence, the leave is
invalidated.
• Leaves are not required or granted for summer
periods alone.
• Normally, leaves are not approved for a period
longer than two semesters. Under special circum-
stances, a leave of absence may be approved for a
maximum of four semesters or two years.
• If students wish to return later than the semester
originally stated on the leave of absence form, they
must apply through the Registrar's Office for an
extension of the leave of absence not to exceed the
maximum period as outlined above.
• A student who plans to enroll for coursework at
another accredited institution during a leave of
absence should review program plans with his or her
academic department advisor to verify eligibility' for
receiving credit at the University of New Haven.
• Taking a leave of absence may affect a student's
financial aid. All students receiving financial aid are
encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office
before taking a leave of absence.
• Students who fulfill the conditions of an approved
leave of absence may return to the university and
register for classes without applying for readmis-
sion; such students may preregister for the semester
46
in which they plan to return.
• A student who does not apply for an extension or
exceeds the maximum period but wishes to return to
the university must be formally readmitted by the
Undergraduate Admissions Office. Upon successful
readmission, the student will register for classes for
the first term of their return through the
Undergraduate Admissions Office.
• All applications for leaves of absence after the
twelfth week of classes must be approved by the
Registrar before they are considered final.
• For leaves of absence completed during the first 1 2
weeks of the semester, the student's transcript will
contain no record of courses attempted or grades
received during that semester.
• Leaves of absence completed and approved after
the twelfth week of the semester may result in the
receipt of the grades for all courses in which the
student is registered at the time of taking the
leave of absence.
Withdrawal from the University
Students desiring to withdraw from the university
must complete the necessary form at the Registrar's
Office and notify each of their instructors. It is the stu-
dent's obligation to complete this formal procedure.
Failure to do so leaves the student liable for all of the
current semester's tuition and fees and may result in
grades of F being assigned in the student's courses.
Formal withdrawal must be completed during the
first four weeks of the semester in order to obtain any
cancellation of tuition and fees (as described elsewhere
in this catalog) unless there are clearly extenuating cir-
cumstances and a formal appeal is made through the
Registrar's Office.
Formal withdrawal which is completed at any time
during the first 12 weeks of the semester will assure that
the student's transcript will contain no record of courses
attempted or grades received during that semester.
Formal withdrawal which is completed after the
twelfth week of the semester could result in the
receipt of the grades for all courses in which the stu-
dent is registered at the time of withdrawal. Students
should note that formal withdrawal after the twelfth
week cannot be regarded as complete unless, in addi-
tion to the above requirements, it has been approved
by the Registrar.
Because of the serious ramifications of formal with-
drawal from the university, students contemplating
this action should discuss the matter with their advisor
or a counselor as soon as problems are perceived.
Transfer of Credit from the University
Credits may be transferred from the University of
New Haven, a regionally accredited university, to any
other college or university. If it is the policy of the
other college or university, the student may be
required to complete a letter of authorization allowing
transfer of credit from the University of New Haven.
General Policies
Academic Honesty
The University of New Haven expects its students
to maintain the highest standards of academic con-
duct. Academic dishonesty is not tolerated at the uni-
versity. To know what it is expected of them, all stu-
dents are responsible for reading and understanding
the statement on academic honesty in the Student
Handbook.
One of the most common forms of academic dis-
honesty is plagiarism, defined as the failure to cite
properly the words and/or the ideas of another.
Students are expected to adhere strictly to accepted
academic standards of attribution in all of their work
and should seek the guidance of their instructors if
they have any questions in this regard.
Violation of university standards on academic hon-
esty, including those on plagiarism, will be sufficient
reason for an F in the course and may be reported to
the Dean of Students. A second violation may be
cause for suspension or expulsion from the university.
Attendance Regulations
Every student is expected to attend all regularly
scheduled class sessions. Specific course attendance
guidelines are established by the academic depart-
ments or each individual faculty member.
From time to time, it may become necessary for the
Academic Regulations 47
university to compile attendance records for every
course in order to meet the needs of regulatory agen-
cies or accrediting bodies or for other purposes.
A maximum of two weeks of absences will be per-
mitted for illness and emergencies. The instructor has
the right to dismiss from the course any student who
has been absent more than the maximum classes
allowed. Please refer to the Student Handbook for fur-
ther clarification of attendance requirements.
If a student is not properly registered with the uni-
versity (see Registration section elsewhere in this cata-
log), he/she is not permitted to attend classes regularly or
be a part of the course.
Coursework Expectations
All full-time and part-time students are expected to
spend at least two hours of time on academic studies
outside of and in addition to each hour of class time.
This expectation should be used by the student as a
guide in determining how much time to spend on aca-
demic studies outside of class. It should also be used by
the student, in consultation with the academic advisor,
to help determine the student's course load each
semester so that the course load matches the amount
of time available for academic studies.
Make-up Policy
Make-up examinations are a privilege extended to
students at the discretion of the instructor, who may
grant make-up examinations to those students who
miss an examination as the result of a medical problem
or a personal emergency. On the other hand, the
instructor may simply choose to adopt a "no make-up"
policy. If an instructor does choose to offer a make-up
test, there are two options: 1) to use university proctors,
if available, in which case the student must pay a make-
up exam fee for regular semester examinations and for
final examinations; 2) to make private arrangements to
offer the examination, in which case the make-up exam
fee is charged at the instructor's discretion.
Graduation
Graduation Criteria
Matriculated students are required to submit a peti-
tion for graduation in the term immediately preceding
their anticipated commencement. Graduation peti-
tions must be signed by the chair of the student's aca-
demic department prior to submission of the petition
and graduation fee at the Bursar's Office. Petition
forms, graduation fees, and due dates are published by
the Registrar each term.
Graduation is not automatic. Petitions, once filed,
ensure that a student's record will be formally assessed
in terms of degree requirements and that it will be
submitted to the faculty for final approval. A petition
may be denied if graduation requirements are not met.
If a petition is approved, a degree will be awarded for
the appropriate commencement. Only those students
who have successfully completed the graduation re-
quirements listed below can participate in the com-
mencement ceremonies.
A degree will be conferred by the Board of Governors
when a student has satisfied all program requirements
and met all university requirements by having:
1 . successfully petitioned and paid all graduation fees;
2. earned a cumulative quality point ratio of no less
than 2.0 in all courses applicable toward the under-
graduate degree;
3. earned a cumulative quality point ratio of no less
than 2.0 (or higher if required by an individual
department) in all courses in the student's major
field of study;
4. passed the university's Writing Proficiency
Examination;
5. been recommended by the faculty;
6. met all financial and other obligations and
conformed to any local, state, or federal law
concerning graduation;
7. met the residency requirement of the university.
If a student does not meet all the requirements as
outlined above prior to the commencement date, the
diploma for the specific commencement date will be
destroyed. It is the student's responsibilit)' to refile and
make payment for a new petition for a future com-
mencement date.
Residency Requirement
The residency requirement of the university is 30
credit hours taken at West Haven or at one of the uni-
48
versity's ofF-campus centers. This requirement applies
to all degrees, undergraduate and graduate. Transfer
credit, coordinated courses, credit by examination,
CLEP, DANTES, or proficiency examinations do not
fulfill the residency requirement.
To ensure depth of study, the residency require-
ment must include 12 credit hours of work in the
declared major for an associate's degree and 18 such
credit hours for a bachelor's degree. Exceptions may be
granted only by the dean administrating the major.
Writing Proficienc)^ Examination
Because the University of New Haven believes that
good writing skills are essential for success, it requires
all its undergraduate students to demonstrate such
skills before it will confer a bachelor's degree.
All students must pass the university's Writing
Proficiency Examination as a requirement for gradua-
tion. No student will be eligible to receive the BA or
BS degree without passing this examination. All stu-
dents must take this examination during the first
semester after the completion of 57 credit hours.
Failure to take the examination may preclude contin-
uous registration.
The examination will consist of the writing ol an
impromptu theme on one of several topics of current
interest. If the student's syntax, punctuation, and dic-
tion are in accord with the conventions of standard
English and if the argument or exposition is clear and
coherent, the student will pass. If the student's writing
is found to be deficient in these respects, notice of the
unsatisfactory performance on the examination will be
sent to the student and to the student's academic advi-
sor.
Students who fail the examination must take it
again each subsequent semester in which they are
enrolled until the examination is passed. Those who
fail are encouraged to utilize the services of the Center
for Learning Resources or retake E 105 Composition
to help them to improve their writing proficiency.
Passing E 105 and/or utilizing the Center for Learning
Resources does not satisfy the university writing profi-
ciency requirement. In no case shall the requirements
for a four-year degree be completed unless the Writing
Proficiency Examination has been passed.
Honors
Academic honors are posted on the student's final
transcript along with the name of the degree earned
and the date the degree was conferred.
Honors are conferred upon candidates for gradua-
tion according to the following standards:
1. An associate's degree With Honors is awarded to
students who have a quality point ratio of 3.25 for
the credit hours specifically required for the degree
program from which they are being graduated and
who have taken 30 or more hours of required work
at this university.
2. An associate's degree With High Honors is award-
ed to students who have a quality point ratio of
3.50 for the credit hours specifically required for
the degree program from which they are being
graduated and who have taken 30 or more hours of
required work at this university.
3. The bachelor's degree Cum Laude is awarded to
students graduating with a cumulative quality
point ratio of at least 3.50 who have taken 60 or
more credit hours of required work at UNH and
completed all the suggested courses within their
curriculum.
4. The bachelor's degree Magna Cum Laude is award-
ed to students graduating with a cumulative quali-
ty point ratio of at least 3.70 whose quality point
ratio in all courses counting toward their major is at
least 3.70, and who have taken 60 or more credit
hours of required work at UNH and completed all
the suggested courses within their curriculum.
5. The bachelor's degree Summa Cum Laude is
awarded to students graduating with a cumulative
quality point ratio of at least 3.90 whose quality
point ratio in all courses counting toward their
major is at least 3.90, and who have taken 60 or
more credit hours of required work at UNH and
completed all the suggested courses within their
curriculum.
In determining eligibility for degrees with honors,
transfer credit and credits earned by crediting exami-
nation will not be considered. Only the cumulative
quality point ratio for courses completed at the
University of New Haven is considered in determining
a student's eligibility for honors.

The university offers deferred payment choices to
help with education expenses. In partnership with
Tuition Management Systems (TMS), the nation's top
rated education payment plan provider, ser\aces provid-
ed include an interest-free monthly payment option that
allows education expenses to be spread over 10 monthly
52
payments per year for an enrollment fee of $65.
The enrollment fee includes toll-free and Internet
access to education payment counselors and account
information. In addition, low-interest loan counseling
and information are available for those students and
families who need loan assistance or for persons who
find the monthly payment amounts to be too large.
Information and enrollment forms for TMS by
calling 1-800-722-4867 or at www.ajford.com.
Application for this plan must be made prior to the
first day of each semester.
Tuition Refund Policy
After a formal withdrawal request is initiated by
undergraduate students, tuition is refunded or can-
celed according to the following scale:
Date of Receipt of Percentage
Withdrawal Request Canceled
1st week of semester 80%
2nd week of semester 60%
3rd week of semester 40%
4th week of semester 20%
After the 4th week 0%
A prorated refund, rather than a refund based on
the above-mentioned scale, may be made in situations
involving clearly extenuating circumstances such as
protracted illness of a student. All appeals based on
such circumstances must be made in writing and
include documentation of the extenuating circum-
stances. Appeals are to be sent to the Directors of
Counseling and Health Services; prorated refunds will
be determined by the Committee on Withdrawals. All
requests for refunds should be initiated before the
close of the semester of withdrawal. Any student under
the age of 1 8 must have the written consent of a par-
ent or guardian indicating to whom any refund, if
applicable, is to be paid in order to withdraw from the
university.
Summer Sessions and Intersession
In cases of withdrawal from a course or courses

cent of tuition is made. There is no refund of summer

full collection of tuition and fees from all registered stu-
dents and assumes the obligation of supplying instruction
and other services throughout the year.

FINANCIAL AID
Karen M. Flynn, BA, MA, Director
Christopher Maclean, BA, Associate Director
The University of New Haven offers a comprehen-
sive financial aid program, with students receiving
assistance in the form of grants, scholarships, student
loans, and part-time employment. Funds are available
from federal and state governments, private sponsors,
and university resources. More than 70 percent of the
university's full-time undergraduate students receive
some form of financial assistance.
Most financial aid awards are based on an individ-
ual applicant's demonstration of need. Some funds are
available on a merit basis for students who have excep-
tional academic records or athletic ability. Need-based
awards are available only to U.S. citizens or eligible
non-citizens.
Financial aid award decisions are made after careful
consideration of a student's application for assistance.
Eligibility for financial aid is based on financial need.
Need is determined by subtracting the Expected Family
Contribution (EFC), as determined by the federal
"needs analysis" formula using the financial information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), from the Cost of Attendance. In calculat-
ing need, the Financial Aid Office attempts to consider
all aspects of a student's financial circumstances and to
meet the need of aid applicants through a "package" of
assistance, generally including a combination of grants,
loans, and employment.
Students interested in applying for financial aid are
encouraged to do so as early as possible. New students
must apply by March 15 for the fall semester and
December 1 for the spring semester. Returning upper-
class students must submit application materials no
later than March 1. All students are encouraged to
apply for aid as early as possible to ensure full consid-
eration for available funds.
Applications completed after the deadline date will
be considered on a rolling basis depending upon the
availability of funds.
The following application materials must be com-
pleted and submitted by each financial aid applicant:
• University of New Haven Financial Aid Appli-
cation. The application form must be completed
fully and submitted to the Financial Aid Office.
• Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is required for application for financial
aid from federal as well as state and institutional
student financial aid programs. Students should list
the University of New Haven on the form as one of
the colleges authorized to receive this information.
The UNH Tide IV School Code is 001397.
Approximately 4 weeks after the FAFSA is submit-
ted to the Federal Student Aid Program you, will
receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) directly from
the U.S. Department of Education. Students may
apply online at www.fafia.ed.gov.
• Tax Documentation. Applicants must submit
signed copies of both the student's and parent's
complete federal income tax returns from the most
recent tax year prior to the academic year. Tax
forms must include all pertinent schedules.
Students filing as independents on the FAFSA are
not required to submit their parent's tax documen-
tation.
• Verification. Federal regulations require that our
office verify the accuracy of the information pro-
vided on the FAFSA by an applicant for federal
financial aid. This process is called verification.
Other forms and documents may be requested
from applicants as their aid applications are reviewed.
Upon completion of the review of an application, the
Financial Aid Office will notify an applicant of his or
her eligibility for financial aid if selected.
Financial Aid Refund Policy
When students are entitled to a refund as a result of
withdrawal from courses, refunds of charges and
financial aid will be based on the institutional refund
Financial Aid 55
policy, as described in the academic policies section of
the university catalog, and on the Return of Title IV
Funds calculation, as required by Section 484B of the
Higher Education Act. Federal regulations require that
any unearned Title IV aid be returned to the pro-
gram(s) that provided the funds.
Return of Title IV Funds
A withdrawal requires the university to calculate
the amount of unearned aid a student has received.
The university must:
-Determine the student's official withdrawal date as
documented in the Registrar's Office. The withdrawal
date is used to determine the percentage of the pay-
ment period completed and therefore the amount of
aid a student earned. Students who have completed
more than 60% of the term are not subject to the fed-
eral calculation.
-Determine the amount of aid earned by the stu-
dent. The university must calculate earned aid by mul-
tiplying the total aid disbursed or which could have
been disbursed (excluding Federal Work study) by the
percent of the payment period the student completed.
-If less aid has been disbursed than a student has
earned, then a post-withdrawal disbursement must be
made. The university will notify the student or parent
in writing within 30 days of the withdrawal date that
a post-withdrawal disbursement is available. The stu-
dent/parent must respond within 14 days of notifica-
tion in order to receive the funds. The student/parent
may accept all or part of the post-withdrawal disburse-
ment.
If more aid was disbursed than earned, then the uni-
versity, the student, or both must return all unearned
aid in a specific order :
1) Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
2) Subsidized Stafford Loans
3) Federal Perkins Loans
4) Federal PLUS Loans
5) Federal Pell Grants
6) Federal SEOG
7) Other Title IV assistance for which return of
funds is required
Students are responsible for repaying all unearned aid
a school is not required to return, as well as any bal-
ance created on their Bursar account by the applica-
tion of the Title IV return of funds formula. The uni-
versity will notify the student in writing within 30
days of determining an overpayment. Students must
repay as follows:
Loans: repayment according to terms of the loan
Grants: repayment is 50% of unearned grant.
Smdents who owe Tide IV grant repayments have 45 days to:
Repay in full.
Make arrangements to repay the university,
Make arrangements to repay the U.S. Department
of Education.
Students who fail to take action to repay will be
reported to the Department of Education and
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) imme-
diately after the 45 day period has elapsed.
Additional information and examples of refund cal-
culations are available in the Financial Aid Office.
Academic Requirements for the
Retention of Financial Aid Eligibility
Students must be making satisfactory academic
progress and be in good academic standing in order to
be eligible to receive financial aid.
Students receiving financial aid as full-time under-
graduates must successfully complete a minimum of
24 credits during the academic year in order to main-
tain satisfactory progress; full-time students who
attend for only one semester during the academic year
must complete a minimum of 12 credits. Satisfactory
academic progress for part-time students is defined as
successful completion of all the credits for which
financial aid was awarded.
"Successful completion" is defined as the receipt of
a passing letter grade (A+ to D-), and does not include
the receipt of an F (Failure), I (Incomplete), DNA
(Did Not Attend), or W (Withdrawal). The require-
ments for good academic standing are described in the
"Academic Regulations" section of the catalog.

Gordon R. Simerson, PhD, Associate Dean
In the College of Arts and Sciences, a world of
knowledge prepares students for their global tomor-
rows. Through the Liberal Arts, students gain multiple
skills, open minds, and personal growth - all essential
for the global marketplace. The College offers essen-
tial foundations in science, the arts, government and
international relations, mathematics, literature and
writing, history, ethics, and more. The College also is
the home of many degree programs to launch you
directly into your tomorrow in a career of your choos-
ing.
In addition to serving as the center of the
University's Core Curriculum, the College offers bach-
elor of arts, and bachelor of science degrees, and a
number of associate's degrees and certificates. The
College's graduate programs lead to the Master of Arts
and Master of Science degrees, as well as a number of
graduate certificates.
The College of Arts and Sciences and its highly
qualified professors are deeply committed to real-life
learning. We know that students' intellectual develop-
ment and their sense of fulfillment are achieved not
only in the classroom but also on campus and in the
community.
Integral to students' experiences in the College of
Arts and Sciences are opportunities to hear debates
about critical national and international issues.
Several times each semester, the College sponsors the
Global Issues Symposia that bring to UNH top names
in diplomacy, politics, and public life to address world-
wide concerns.
The College's intellectual excitement comes alive,
too, with IDEA&S, a series of forums where faculty
members speak informally to colleagues and students
about current research, recent writing, or topics of
wide interest. Such presentations are followed by live-
ly discussion among students and faculty members.
The College also publishes a semiannual peer-reviewed
scholarly journal, Essays in Arts & Sciences , now in its
33rd year. A journal of critical and provocative
thought, EAS brings prestige and international visibil-
ity to the College.
The College adds to New Haven's vibrant cultural
environment. New Haven is a region with major
libraries, museums and galleries, and superb theaters.
At UNH, the College supports The Alliance Theatre—
a resident company that is an outstanding collabora-
tion among students, faculty, and community produc-
ing acclaimed dramatic and music performances. The
Seton Gallery is a well-established university art gallery
featuring, in addition to a permanent collection, a
wide variety of renowned artists and sculptors at shows
throughout the academic year.
For students, staff, and faculty, the College has
developed Arts @ Noon events that several times each
semester feature UNH talent in poetry, theatre, music,
dance, and film. Through Arts @ Night, the College
presents entertainment events on campus for UNH
and public attendance, with performances in various
musical styles, comedy, and dance.

Teaching as a Career
Students interested in earning a teaching certificate
to qualify to teach at the elementary or secondary level
may do so by entering the graduate program in educa-
tion at UNH. This program also offers an internship.
Minors
It is highly recommended that students working
toward a degree in one area of study give serious
thought to organizing their elective courses so as to
receive a minor in a second discipline. A minor usual-
ly consists of 1 8 credit hours devoted to the study of
either a group of courses on related subjects or a series
of courses offered by one department.
Students interested in studying for a minor should
consult with the chair of the department offering the
minor. The minors are listed below:
Art
Bioengineering
Biology
Arts and Sciences 63
Black Studies
Chemistry
Communication
English
Environmental Science

Certificates
Students can take their first step toward an under-
graduate degree by registering for one of the certifi-
cates offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Each
certificate is carefully designed as a concentrated intro-
duction to a particular subject area and generally con-
sists of courses totaling 15 to 18 credit hours. Later, stu-
dents may choose to apply the certificate credits they
have earned toward their undergraduate degree at the
university.

Public Policy
General Policies in the College
of Arts and Sciences:
• Each student will be assigned an academic advisor.
Normally, the advisor is a member of the lacuit)' in
the major department for the student's degree pro-
gram.
• A student may select a minor in a department other
than the major department after consultation with
the advisor or the appropriate department chair.
• To receive a degree from the College of Arts and
Sciences, the student must be awarded his/her last
30 credits by the University of New Haven.
• A minimum of 120 semester hours is required for
graduation.
Coordinated Course Policy:
To implement the university's Coordinated Course
Policy, the College of Arts and Sciences has adopted
the following additional guidelines:
1. A student may take a maximum of two Arts and
Sciences courses on a coordinated basis. The cours-
es must be either (a) upper-division courses: that is,
equivalent to 300- or 400-level courses at UNH or
(b) courses required by the student's major program:
that is, not Arts and Sciences elective courses.
2. Coordinated courses fi-om two-year colleges will be
accepted only for students who have freshman or
sophomore status at UNH. A student who has com-
pleted a total of 57 credit hours cannot obtain consent
for a coordinated course taken at a two-year college.
3. Any exceptions to the previously stated guidelines
must be approved by the dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
4. Students should note that in all cases they must
seek approval before taking a coordinated course.
University Core Curriculum
In addition to departmental requirements, students
must fulfill all requirements of the core curriculum.
BA, Liberal Studies
The BA in liberal studies serves students whose
needs are not met by traditional universit)' majors. The
interdisciplinary nature of this program permits stu-
dents to integrate courses from several departments for
64
the achievement of personalized educational goals.
Those goals may be directed toward the realization of
specific career objectives not met by an existing pro-
gram. The liberal studies program also meets the needs
of students who wish to develop a career focus and
who to learn in a manner that emphasizes the interre-
latedness of knowledge.
All students earning a bachelor's degree in liberal
studies must complete the university's core curriculum
requirements as part of the 120-122 credits required
for the degree.
Students will also select a minimum of 16 focus
area courses — that is, eight courses from two of the
three focus areas listed below. The number of focus
area courses within a field/department is a minimum
of three and a maximum of six courses from any one
discipline. Selection of 48 credits (or more) of courses
from within these focus areas ensures a breadth of
study within the liberal studies program.
Focus Areas
Humanities:
Art
Communication
English
History
Music
Philosophy
Social/Behavioral Sciences:
Black Studies
Economics
Political Science
Psychology
Sociology
Mathematics/Science:
Biology
Chemistry
Environmental Science
Mathematics
Physics
In consultation with the Arts and Sciences advisor,
students will develop a personal plan of study. Finally, as
part of this plan, students will select a departmental advi-
sor to assist in the development of an elective sequence
of 39 credits (or fewer) to support their academic/pro-
fessional goals. Students may choose their elective
sequence from the areas of arts and sciences, business,
engineering, hospitality/tourism, or public safety/profes-
sional studies. Ten 300-level or higher courses must be
taken.
AS, General Studies
The College of Arts and Sciences offers the AS in
general studies to serve two different student popula-
tions. The first is the new or returning student who
wishes a general liberal arts education for personal
enrichment. The second is one who is undecided
about career objectives and wishes to defer the choice
of a major field.
Nearly half of the 61 credit hours required for the
degree are free electives. This flexibility permits the
student to take courses in a number of different fields
prior to choosing a major. By judicious choice of elec-
tives, it is possible to transfer into majors in any of the
schools in the university.
Students planning to transfer to four-year programs
in the College of Arts and Sciences should note addi-
tional core requirements in science and mathematics,
English literature, art, and social science, as well as spe-
cial requirements in particular major programs.
Required Courses
Students must complete 61 credit hours of courses to
earn the associate's degree with a general studies major,
including the courses listed below:
E 105 Composition (cc)

Biology
Biology provides one of the cornerstones of a liberal
education by increasing knowledge and appreciation of
oneself and of other living organisms in the eco- sphere.
It is an active and exciting field leading to careers in
drug discovery, medicine, and education. As a major,
biology prepares the student for professional or gradu-
ate training or for technical and research positions in
one of the health or life science fields.
BS, Biology
Students earning a BS with a major in biology must
complete 122-124 credit hours. Courses include the
university's core requirements and the course require-
ments for the particular biology concentration as indi-
cated below.
Concentration in
Premedical/Predental/Preveterinary
Medical Biology
This concentration gives the student the basic
entrance requirements of virtually every U.S. college
of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.
Entrance into these colleges is highly competitive, and
completion of the concentration does not guarantee
acceptance into a medical, dental, or veterinary med-
ical college. Graduates have gone on to pursue med-
ical, dental, and veterinary medical degrees at such
schools as Georgetown University, Tufi:s University,
the University of Connecticut, Ohio State University,
and the University of Tennessee. Students who com-
plete the program but decide not to pursue a medical
career are highly qualified to enter the workforce in
one of the technically oriented research, health, or
related life science fields. In addition to the university's
core requirements and seven free electives, the follow-

companies and businesses both large and small. They
work on such problems as wetland mapping and pro-
tection; watershed management; ground and surface
water contamination; aquifer delineation and protec-
tion; marine resource management; crop and pest
management; natural hazards; regulatory compli-
ance; environmental health and safety; water, waste-
water, and air treatment; and pollution prevention
and remediation.
Usually, specialized training is necessary if one
wishes to hold an administrative job at a high salary
level. Our programs are designed to enable students to
enter a graduate or specialty school to continue their
education. Examples of advanced study include a
graduate program in environmental science or engi-
neering; a school of forestry, planning, or public
health; a program in urban ecology or environmental
geology; or even, with proper selection of electives,
business or law school.
The BS degree program establishes a solid back-
ground in the biological and earth sciences, chemistry,
physics, and mathematics in the first three years. In the
fourth year students concentrate on advanced environ-
mental science courses.
A combined five-year BS/MS program in environ-
mental science is offered to students who have complet-
ed approximately 75 credit hours (five semesters) of
undergraduate work, have at least a 3.0 grade point
average, and are recommended by the department.

Department of
Dental Hygiene
Chair: Mark Kacerik, MS, RDH
Director: Sandra DAmato-Palumbo, MPS, RDH
Assistant Professors: Sandra D'Amato-Palumbo,
MPS, Quinnipiac College, RDH; Gwen Grosso,
MS, University of Bridgeport, RDH; Mark
Kacerik, MS, University of Bridgeport, RDH; Teal
Mercer, MPH, University of Connecticut; Renee
Prajer, MS, University of Bridgeport, RDH
The cornerstone of the UNH dental hygiene pro-
gram is the bachelor of science degree. This program
enables the student to be involved in dental hygiene
coursework throughout all four years of the curriculum.
The course of study integrates science prerequisites and
general (core) education requirements with foundation-
al and advanced-level dental hygiene courses. Graduates
of the bachelor of science program will be prepared not
only to seek employment in private dental offices but
also to pursue employment in a variety of other health
care settings such as dental hygiene and dental business/
industry, nursing homes, centers for the developmental-
ly disabled, hospitals, home health care agencies, correc-
tional facilities, and community health centers. Bachelor
of science degree students also have the knowledge and
skills necessary to pursue education at the graduate level.
Students who wish to exit the program at the end of
three years of study may earn an associate in science
degree in dental hygiene. This program prepares gradu-
ates for necessary board examinations and employment
primarily in the dental office setting. The associate's
degree program integrates science prerequisite courses
and foundational dental hygiene courses into a three-
year curriculum. Graduates of the program are posi-
tioned to practice as dental hygienists and, if desired,
complete the bachelor's degree by participating in one
additional year of study.
In addition to the programs described above, UNH
off^ers a dental hygiene degree completion program. This
curriculum is designed for practicing dental hygienists
who are graduates of associate degree programs. The
degree completion program is designed to enable dental
hygienists to transfer credits from an accredited dental
hygiene program and utilize their academic and work
experience as the basis for completing coursework lead-
ing to the bachelor of science degree.
Admission Requirements
In addition to the general admission requirements
for all prospective UNH students, it is recommended
that applicants to the dental hygiene program demon-
strate satisfactory performance in the sciences and
mathematics. It is strongly recommended that appli-
cants have completed both high school biology and
chemistry with laboratory and two years of college pre-
72
paratory mathematics. An in-person or telephone
interview with the department director or a faculty
member is recommended; letters of recommendation
supporting the student's abihty to pursue a rigorous
science-based curriculum and desire to contribute in
the health care delivery system are strongly encour-
aged. Admission to the program is limited, and part-
time study is available only during the first year of the
curriculum. All students enrolled in the dental hygiene
clinical course sequence must be full-time.
Professional Accreditation and Licensure
The program in dental hygiene is accredited by the
Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American
Dental Association, a specialized accrediting body rec-
ognized by the Commission on Recognition of
Postsecondary Accreditation and by the United States
Department of Education.
Students in the program are provided with applica-
tion materials for the Dental Hygiene National Board
Examination (written) and the Northeast Regional
Board Examination (NERB/clinical). Both the
National Board Examination and a clinical examina-
tion are required for program graduates to apply for
dental hygiene licensure in Connecticut and most
other states.

The Graduate Education Department prepares
future elementary and secondary school teachers. The
secondary school subject areas include English,
Mathematics, Physics, General Science, Social Science,
and Business. All students who are interested in pur-
suing a teaching career should contact the Education
Department as soon as possible during their under-
graduate career. Undergraduates may apply to be
accepted into the Accelerated Entry Process. This
process allows qualified undergraduates to earn a
Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, and CT certifica-
tion in five years.
Future secondary teachers will be advised to have a
74
strong undergraduate major in the subject they wish to
teach or in a closely related field. Future elementary
school teachers will be advised to major in an academic
subject with a broad range of electives that cover the
academic subjects traditionally taught in elementary
schools (e.g., English, Mathematics, History, and
Science).
Students interested in the accelerated entry process
will take their first Education course during their jun-
ior year. This course, ED 350, Introduction to
Education, will provide students with an overview of
the field of Education and will require a field compo-
nent. This field component will place the undergrad-
uate in a local school to work with school children
under the direction of a classroom teacher. This expe-
rience will give undergraduates opportunities to
observe professional teachers in their own classrooms.
Accelerated Entry Students may then continue
with graduate Education courses in the spring
trimester of their senior year (6 weeks before they
complete their undergraduate degree). They will
attend class one night per week while they are com-
pleting their bachelor's degree. Students will be
required to take courses during the summer and, if
they choose, will begin an internship the following
September. This internship pays the tuition for the
master's degree (but does not pay for student teach-
ing). Students will finish all coursework and student
teaching by July, approximately 13 months after
receiving an undergraduate degree. Successful com-
pletion of all requirements will result in UNH's rec-
ommendation to the State Department of Education
for CT certification. Once certified, students can
apply to other states for their certification.
Entrance Requirements to the Accelerated Entry
Process of the Graduate Education Department
Undergraduates must apply to the Education
Department at the beginning of their junior year.
Students must have:
- 3.0 GPA
Passed Praxis I or have a total of 11 00 on SATs
Permission from their Department chair
- Passed the Writing Proficiency Exam by the end
of their junior year.

An English major may choose the concentration
in either literature or writing. Students in the litera-
ture concentration develop their analytic skills and
critical ability by reading widely varied works in the
English language: William Shakespeare to Walt
Whitman, Jane Austen to Gwendolyn Brooks. The
study of English and American literature provides a
depth and breadth of liberal education as it also
improves one's thinking, writing, and speaking. A
major in literature is looked upon very favorably by
admissions officers of law, medical, and dental
schools. It is good preparation for graduate work in
such fields as business, education, urban planning,
social work, and public health. Employers in many
areas of business, industry, and government seek col-
lege graduates with broad knowledge and the ability
to communicate effectively.
In the writing concentration, students practice a
variety of written language from the expository essay
to business and technological applications to more ere-
Arts and Sciences 75
ative forms. Some specific areas in which writing skills
have immediate practical worth are journalism, adver-
tising, public relations, sales training, and promotion.
Many companies hire writers and editors for company
periodicals and reports, equipment handbooks, and
service manuals. Publishing houses provide employ-
ment, of many kinds and on many levels, for persons
skilled in writing. For writers of proven ability, there
are numerous opportunities to freelance for trade jour-
nals, newspapers, magazines, and other publications.
An English major may also prepare for teacher certifi-
cation at the elementary or secondary level.
Foreign Language Study
While study of a foreign language is not required, it
is strongly recommended that the student who majors
in English know at least one foreign language.
Knowledge of a foreign language makes one more sen-
sitive to the use and meaning of words in one's own
language. Furthermore, knowledge of a foreign lan-
guage widens one's perspective and deepens one's
understanding through the insights gained into anoth-
er culture. Students who are considering graduate
study certainly should be competent in at least one
foreign language.
The Literary Club
The English Department sponsors the university's
Literary Club, which is open to all UNH students. Its
aim is to further interest in the literary arts. The club's
primary activity is publishing The Elm City Review, a
journal of students' art and writing.
Transfer Credit for Writing Courses
The English department automatically will award
credit for freshman writing courses taken at an accred-
ited American college or university if the courses are
essentially the same as E 105 or E 110 and if the stu-
dent received at least a "C." If the courses were taken
at a foreign college, the student will have to demon-
strate his or her proficiency in writing before credit
will be awarded. In the latter case, the student should
make an appointment with the secretary of the English
department for the writing of a one-hour composition.
The Co-op Program
The department participates in the cooperative
education program (Co-op), which enables students to
combine their education with practical, paid work
experience in their career field. For further details see
"The Co-op Program," which appears earlier in the
catalog, or contact the Co-op coordinator for the
College of Arts and Sciences.

History provides a framework for a liberal educa-
tion. The study of human experience— failures as well
as achievements— is the core of historical study. It gives
insight into related disciplines in the humanities and
social sciences and broadens the perspective of stu-
dents in professional fields of business and engineering
by revealing the complexity and interrelatedness of
human experience.
History is also excellent preparation for a variety of
careers in business, government, law, journalism, foreign
service, and many other areas. Because of the great vari-
ety of professional programs at the University of New
Haven, the student interested in history can combine
this interest with highly technical professional training.
The department strives to meet its objectives by
teaching not only content but critical and writing
skills through reading, class presentations and discus-
sion, research, and writing. Historical methodology is
stressed in all advanced courses, and students take the
history seminar in their senior year to sharpen their
critical and analytic skills.
Phi Alpha Theta
The University of New Haven has a chapter of the
international honor society in history. Phi Alpha
Theta, which is open to those students who have had
12 hours of history or more and have maintained an
average of better than 3.0 in history courses and better
than 2.9 overall. The university chapter of Phi Alpha
Theta provides students and faculty with a social and
intellectual experience beyond classroom work, offer-
ing films, speakers and roundtable discussions.
Students not eligible for membership in the society are
welcome to participate in all of the chapter's activities.

The study of mathematics opens the door to a wide
variety of career opportunities and academic pursuits.
Mathematics is a major part of the framework of mod-
ern science and technology. Persons with strong math-
ematics backgrounds qualify for stimulating occupa-
tions in an ever-increasing number of fields, from pri-
vate industry to government service.
The mathematics department offers a BA in math-
ematics. In addition, concentrations in computer sci-
ence, statistics, or natural sciences leading to a BS
degree are offered. Students who do not take the com-
puter science concentration are encouraged to consid-
er a minor in computer science to be better prepared
for our technological society. Students majoring in
other fields may minor in mathematics.
Mathematics students have direct access to univer-
sity computing facilities via computer laboratories
throughout the campus. Several modern computing
languages are available. The most modern and up-to-
date data processing packages as well as mathematical
and statistical software packages have been installed
and are utilized in instruction.
Student Awards
Each year, the mathematics department awards to
outstanding mathematics students free honorary
memberships in the Mathematical Association of
America and the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics.

Department of Philosophy
Chair: Joel H. Marks, PhD
Professor: Joel H. Marks,
PhD, University of Connecticut
Practitioner-in Residence: David Brubaker, PhD,
University of Illinois
The main attraction of philosophy always has been
and always will be the intrinsic fascination of think-
ing about the "perennial questions." Is there purpose
in the universe or only random causation? Does
human existence have meaning, or is it absurd? Are
moral obligations real, or are they just social con-
structs? Is the mind anything more than the function-
ing of the brain? Are we capable of acting freely, or do
we behave as nature dictates? Is reason the slave of the
passions? Is it better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a
fool satisfied?
But studying in this field also helps a person to
develop skills that have wide practical application.
Philosophy students practice logical thinking, analyti-
cal reading and listening, and precise writing and
speaking. They also practice "thinking outside the
box" and, hence, cultivate creativity, even humor,
because their occupation is none other than the ques-
tioning of fundamental assumptions in all areas. Thus,
philosophy has served as a useful background for peo-
ple who went on to successful careers in diverse pro-
fessions, such as computer systems programming,
music, management, insurance, investment, market-
ing, film-making, publishing, real estate, technical
writing, literary writing, government, human services,
journalism, law, medicine, teaching, research... and
stand-up comedy!
Philosophy courses at UNH examine the major
world traditions of thought from ancient times to the
present. Emphasis is placed on ethical inquiry, includ-
ing the application of ethical thinking to our daily and
professional lives.
Minor in Philosophy
A student in this program must complete 1 5 credit
hours, as follows:
Required Courses
PL 210 Logic
PL 222 Ethics
Plus at least three additional philosophy courses chosen
in consultation with a philosophy advisor.
Department of Physics
Chair: W. Thurmon Whitley, PhD
Assistant Professors: Matthew Griffiths, PhD,
University of Edinburgh; Saion Sinha, PhD,
University of Kentucky
Physics is concerned with the most basic aspects of
our knowledge of the natural world. It is a subject in
which experiment and theory evolve constantly to pro-
vide a precise and simple description of the physical
phenomena around us in terms of a relatively small
82
number of physical laws and theories.
As a fundamental science, physics is at the root of
almost all branches of science and technology. It has
provided the microscopic basis for chemistry, has
stimulated important developments in mathematics, is
the basis of most branches of engineering and, during
the past decade, has proved to be increasingly valuable
to the life sciences.
Consequently, a basic knowledge of physics is
excellent preparation for diverse careers: research in
university and government laboratories, industrial
research and development, applied science and engi-
neering, biological and medical sciences, research in
environmental problems, and teaching at all levels
from the elementary school to the university. It also
prepares students for careers in non-physics-related
fields such as philosophy, business, and law.
The university does not currently offer a bachelor's
degree program in physics. The department does,
however, offer a minor in physics suitable for majors in
any of the university's schools and departments. A
physics minor is particularly valuable for students in
chemistry, environmental science, biology, forensic sci-
ence, fire science, or occupational safety as well as for
any student planning to teach any science at the ele-
mentary or secondary level.
The physics minor requires a total of 20 credit
hours of work in physics. Students should plan their
minor in consultation with a faculty advisor in the
physics department.

A major in political science provides the student with
a foundation for a career in government on the local,
state, national, and international levels; for a career in
law; for graduate school programs in political science, in-
ternational relations, and public policy; and for careers in
the areas of campaign management, communication,
public relations, and business. All political science and
prelaw majors or minors should discuss career goals and
educational objectives with a department advisor within
one month of entrance into the program.
Further, advice on the Law School Admissions Test
(LSAT) and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
preparation courses, which our prelaw and graduate
school-oriented students are urged to take, is available
through the department.
Prelaw majors and minors in the department of

Psychology faces the questions that are of most
immediate concern to the individual: problems such as
personal identity, the social context, normalcy versus
deviance, and behavior change. As a science, psychol-
ogy is devoted to the understanding, prediction, and
control of behavior.
Our dedication to these goals requires that we
study behavior from a number of viewpoints-develop-
mental, social, physiological, abnormal — each fasci-
nating in its own right. The student's attention is
drawn also to the many settings in which behavior
occurs, from the family to the laboratory, from the
clinic to the marketplace. This great diversity ensures
that the study of psychology will interrelate well with
other courses in the humanities and sciences.
The undergraduate program in the department of
psychology combines basic science and applications to
prepare students for further professional training in
psychology or for careers in human services delivery,
law, education, business, and industry.
The program features a specialty concentration in
community/clinical psychology for those students
who have well-defined professional goals. The gener-
al psychology concentration permits students to tai-
lor their preparation toward other specialty areas.
Psychology majors are encouraged to broaden their
preparation by taking courses or minors in sociolo-
gy, political science, social welfare, management,
computer science, criminal justice, mathematics,
and biology.
The psychology major develops skills in design and
analysis of research and effective communication
through the study of statistics, experimental methods,
psychological measurement, and psychological theory.
Through involvement with behavior therapy and com-
munity psychology field work, the student can con-
front behavior problems in a more direct, practical
fashion. The department feels that it is only through a
thorough grounding in basic skills and principles that
students can eff^ectively realize their goals.
The psychology program benefits from a psycholo-
gy laboratory building on the main campus. The lab-
oratory contains facilities for student and faculty
research with human subjects. Specialized apparatus
permits the study of human and animal learning, sen-
sory capacities, social processes, and biofeedback con-
trol.
The University of New Haven also offers the mas-
ter of arts degree in community psychology and indus-
trial/organizational psycholog)^ as well as a graduate
certificate in applications of psychology. For descrip-
tions of these programs, see the Graduate School
catalog.
Psychology Club
Students in psychology have the opportunity to
participate in the Psychology Club. Its purpose is to
provide opportunities both to socialize and to develop
students' interests in the science and profession of psy-
chology. Throughout the year, the club sponsors guest
lecturers and a variety of field trips. All students are
welcome to join.
Psi Chi Honor Society
Membership in the university chapter of Psi Chi,
the national honor society, is open to students in the
top 35 percent of their class who have completed at
least nine credit hours of psychology with grades of B
or better and who are making the study of psychology
one of their major interests.
Graduating seniors also may nominate them-
selves for the annually-awarded McGough psycholo-
gy prize.
The Co-op Program
The department participates in the cooperative
education program (Co-op), which enables students to
combine their education with practical, paid work
experience in their career field. For further details see

substitute advanced psychology courses for P 301 and
P 305. Exemptions will be granted on a case-by-case
basis by the chairperson of the Psychology Department.
Sociology
Coordinator: Alfred Bradshaw, PhD
Associate Professor: Alfred Bradshaw, PhD,
Syracuse University
Sociology is the study of social life and the social
causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociolo-
gy's subject matter ranges from analysis of families,
corporations, cities, and sports to that of sexuality,
death, race, gender, and ethnicity as well as the impact
of demographic and environmental policies and other
social phenomena. The sociological perspective is
86
empirically grounded and sufficiently broad to be rel-
evant to those considering careers in related fields such
as research, governmental service, social work, person-
nel management, advertising, law, medicine, journal-
ism, social gerontology, and hospitality and tourism.
The University of New Haven does not currently
offer a major in sociology. For those students wishing
to satisfy core or elective requirements, or for students
who may wish to select sociology or social welfare as a
minor, a selection of courses is offered.
Minor in Sociology
A minimum of 18 semester hours is required for
the minor in sociology. To complete the minor, six
courses are required. Three of the courses are speci-
fied. They are:

Visual Arts
Coordinator: Christy A. Sommerville, MA
Study of the visual arts provides an opportunity for
self-realization and gives the individual a perception of
his or her relationship to society. Foundational cours-
es in the basics of two- and three-dimensional design,
color, and drawing, plus work in such major disci-
plines as painting, sculpture, and the use of computers
as a design tool, provide the student with the necessary
vocabulary for effective visual communication.
Knowledge of the development of art throughout
human cultural evolution from the cave era to present
day is provided through studies in art history and the
contemporary art scene. Thus, equipped with a work-
ing vocabulary of visual form and a sense of art histo-
ry, students progress toward the goal of making a
mature visual statement in their chosen fields.
University of New Haven art programs provide
preparation for graduate study or career opportunities
in fields related to art, graphic design, interior design,
and architecture.
Students in all BA art programs listed below must
complete at least 121 credit hours. These courses must
include the core requirements for the university and
the required courses as listed for each program.

Multimedia/Web
Creation Studies
Coordinator: Guillermo E. Mager, PhD
Multimedia is the use of computers for the inte-
gration of graphics, animation, video, music, speech,
and Uve presentation. Active markets for mukimedia
include (1) the Internet, where careers in web page
creation and website management have grown expo-
nentially in recent years; (2) business, where comput-
er presentations have taken the place of slide shows;
(3) education, where teachers and parents are finding
new ways to present their material; and (4) the
entertainment industry, with the ever-growing use of
computers for special effects in games, music videos,
and films.
Multimedia studies will enable graduates from pro
grams in graphic design, music, education, business and
many other disciplines to use the computer not only to
generate traditional print materials but also to design
interactive programs for use in websites, CD-ROMs,
business presentations, games, and educational software.
The multimedia courses and the web page creation
courses have been designed to allow students to use com-
puter, audio, video, and graphic technologies to concep-
tualize and implement interactive interfaces in a compre-
hensive approach that includes the multimedia produc-
tion process, the technology, and the aesthetic design.
Minor in Multimedia/Web Creation
A total of seven courses (21 credits) is required to
complete the minor in multimedia/web creation.
Required courses (9 credits):
MM 301 Introduction to Multimedia
MM 311 Advanced Multimedia or
MM 3 12 Web Creation

Music
Coordinators:
2004-2005: Albert G. Celotto, MM
2005-2006: Michael G. Kaloyanides, PhD
Music courses may be used to satisfy the art core
requirements.
The program in music is unique. Music is studied
as a worldwide phenomenon, not defined simply in
the western European art tradition. Students are
encouraged to view music as a creation of all cultures
and civilizations on both the folk and art levels,
including our own urban and ethnic subcultures. Ex-
posure to various music should lead students to spe-
cialization in a particular area as upperclasspersons.
Since music is a performing art, students are expect-
ed to reach a satisfactory level of proficiency in either a
traditional western instrument or one central to the par-
ticular culture in which they choose to specialize.
A degree in music qualifies students for professions
as performers, composers, music publishers, critics and
journalists, teachers, curators, and librarians. Combin-
ing music with other fields, graduates may enter the
fields of concert and ensemble management and
sound engineering areas. There are, of course, count-
less performance opportunities for instrumentalists,
vocalists, and composers. Vocations such as music
publishing, recording sales and promotions, and music
criticism and journalism are also available to graduates
with a degree in music. Students may also pursue
careers in music education, not only as teachers in
schools and conservatories but also as curators and
librarians.
Performance/Practice and
Recording Facilities
In addition to traditional performance and practice
rooms, the following special areas have been equipped
for the use of students enrolled in the music industry
and sound recording programs.
Studio A
The advanced recording technology classes take
place in our largest recording facility, which was
designed to excel as both a teaching and a profession-
al recording environment. The control room design
offers comfortable seating for the students as well as
providing an excellent view of the console and the rest
of the equipment. Equipment includes a 24-track ana-
log and two 8-track digital recorders for a total of 40
tracks; a 40-input/32 monitor console for a total of 72
inputs in mix mode; an Apple Macintosh computer
running Digidesign's Pro-Tools system; an extensive
selection of outboard (signal processing) equipment;
and MIDI gear, including synthesizer, drum machine,
and a sampler.
Studio B
Multitrack recording and MIDI classes take place
in a second recording facility with a l6-input/l6 mon-
itor console, a digital multitrack recorder, a computer
with digital audio and MIDI sequencing capabilities ,
assorted signal processing equipment, and MIDI syn-
thesizer and drum machine.
Workstations
Our new digital mixing workstation contains two
digital multitrack recorders, a digital mixing board, a
computer with digital audio and CD recording capa-
bilities, signal processing gear, and a DAT tape
machine.
Smaller recording/mixing stations include 4-track
tape recorders/mixers, synthesizers, and outboard (sig-
nal processing) equipment.
BA, Music
The bachelor of arts in music is a dynamic program
for the study of music within a liberal arts curriculum.
It is distinctive in its treatment of music as a world-
wide phenomenon. It is also flexible, allowing students
to focus on performance or musicology.
Students focusing on performance are urged to take
private instruction on an instrument or in voice each
semester of enrollment. Seniors must present either a
senior thesis or a senior recital to qualify for gradua-
tion. There are options in the senior year curriculum
for courses appropriate for thesis or recital preparation.

The accounting department is responsible for
courses in accounting, business law, and taxation.
While the study of accounting has its roots in eco-
nomic theory, the courses emphasize practical applica-
tion to real-world problems.
The study of accounting emphasizes the economic
decision-making process as well as the principles and
procedures used to produce the information required by
decision makers. Accounting promotes an appreciation
for not only the nature of accounting information but
also the use of that information in the complex process
of decision making by individuals, business firms, and
government. The department of accounting at the
University of New Haven seeks to serve the educational
needs of those involved in all areas of accounting: pub-
lic, private, or governmental.
There are many career opportunities for accounting
students in the business world, government, and acade-
mia. Accounting professionals are needed by consulting
firms, public accounting firms, and private industry as
well as by federal, state, and local governments. Because
of the practical orientation, fiiture business entrepre-
neurs can benefit the background obtained in the pro-
gram.
The accounting department at the University of New
Haven ofi^ers courses at the bachelor's and master's level.
In addition, an educational opportunity is available to
students who desire to meet the 150-credit-hour educa-
tional requirements necessary to take the Certified
Public Accounting (CPA) Examination. These addition-
al educational requirements may be taken at the gradu-
ate level, leading to an MBA degree.
Accounting students may select electives from
other disciplines such as computer science, economics,
and finance.

is available to students enrolled in the master of business
administration program. Graduate certificates are
offered in accounting and taxation. Complete informa-

Economics courses provide a basis for an understand-
ing of economic structures, a wide range of domestic
and international issues, and trends in the economic life
of modern societies. These courses offer training in
analysis of economic problems as an aid to the evalua-
tion of economic policies.
Introductory courses are designed to provide the
foundation of economic knowledge which all citizens in
a modern complex society should have so that they may
understand the decisions of individual economic units
and the operation of a national economy as a whole.
Advanced courses are designed primarily for eco-
nomics and business majors. They cover, in depth, spe-
cific economic topics. They also prepare students for
economic research and management positions in
financial institutions, individual organizations, gov-
ernment, or graduate study and teaching.
The department of economics has two major objec-
tives: to function as a service department for other
departments in the School of Business and the other
schools of the university and to offer a specialized edu-
cation to students majoring in business economics.
Students majoring in economics may choose either
a bachelor of science in business economics or a bach-
elor of arts in economics.
Finance, as an area of study, is designed to promote
an analytic appreciation of the financial system and
the financial decision-making process in which socie-
ty — through its individuals, business firms, and gov-
ernments — is continually engaged.
In particular, the study of finance provides a struc-
tured analysis ol the financial system and the finan-
cial decision-making process as determinants of the
economic wealth of the individual, the business firm,
and the nation. The study of finance enables the stu-
dent to pursue the preparation required for a number
of financial decision-making positions in government
and industrv, including the entire range of financial
institutions.

Business 101
At this time in history, when all of society's sys-
tems-governmental, technological, societal, educa-
tional, industrial, and military as well as business-are
becoming more sophisticated and complex, the need
for skilled managers has never been greater. Today's
managers must attend to global competition, delivery
of quality products and services, and interaction with
their internal and external environments. The man-
agement programs at UNH seek to provide students
with the foundations of knowledge and skill necessar)'
for moving to positions of responsibility in manage-
ment. The study of theories and methods of analyzing
decisions will prepare students for employment as
well as sharpen the skills of those already holding or-
ganizational positions. The underlying concept is to
combine adequate specialization with the integrative
point of view required of the manager.
The department of management offers degree pro-
grams in the following areas: associate in science
degree program in business administration and bache-
lor of science degree programs in business administra-
tion and management of sports industries, along with
minors in business administration, management, and
entrepreneurship.

Minor in Entrepreneurship
(for Business Majors)
The United States is comprised of two economies:
big business and small business. Virtually all business-
es begin as a small business initiated by an entrepre-
neur with an idea or vision. Ninety-five percent of all
businesses in the United States are small businesses.
Entrepreneurship and small business are dynamic and
powerful interactive forces in these increasingly diffi-
cult economic times.
The University of New Haven offers a minor in
entrepreneurship as a means of preparing students
who will start a business, purchase an existing busi-
ness, or join the family business after graduation. In
addition, this minor may also provide an "intrapre-
neurship" foundation for students who aspire to work
in big business.
This minor is a multidisciplinary approach to
entrepreneurship that integrates the business disci-
plines with communication, negotiation, and presen-
tation skills. Furthermore, the program links theory
and practice by tying together the best academic
developments with the most effective business
approaches.
A total of 15 semester hours of business course

The disciplines of marketing and international
business investigate business practices and strategies
needed to attract customers and compete effectively in
a free market system. Business is global. Therefore,
both disciplines examine markets and competition
Irom a global perspective. However, marketing places
a greater emphasis on practices and strategies in the
domestic environment while international business
focuses more on multinational issues. Both programs
have recently added coverage ol the emerging impact
of e-commerce on business practices.
The sequence of courses in both programs includes
five required and two elective courses which culminate
in an integrative capstone course. Students wishing to
pursue internships are encouraged to use that experi-
ence as one of their electives. Normally, internships are
scheduled during the senior year.
The Co-op Program
The department participates in the cooperative
education program (Co-op), which enables students to
combine their education with practical, paid work
experience in their career field. For further details see
'The Co-op Program," which appears earlier in the
catalog, or contact the Co-op coordinator for the

BS, Marketing and Electronic Commerce
Marketing is the study of the processes lor develop-
ing and distributing goods and services attractive to
selected customer groups. These markets may include
both consumer and organizational (industrial, govern-
mental, or non-profit) groups. Understanding of these
customers results from studies of psychological and
sociological perspectives and from the use of research
tools. Based on these understandings, competitive
strategies and distribution channels can be devised to
reach the desired customers more effectively. The
emergence of e-commerce has substantially modified
some of the existing strategies lor understanding the
customer and lor managing channels of distribution.

Minor in Operations Management
and Quantitative Analysis
The field of operations management is directly
related to creation and delivery of the product in both
service and manufacturing industries. The focus is on
the operating end of the business where the resources
(production capacity, human skills, and raw materials)
are transformed into goods and services. Since every
organization — from banks to fire departments, retail
stores, hospitals, or manufacturing facilities — is built
around its product(s), the need for related knowledge
of operations management is unquestionable.
As pressures for quality, time-based competition
and a more integrated approach to management
increase, a minor in operations management and
quantitative analysis will expand options and increase
marketability for business students.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING &
APPLIED SCIENCE
Zulma R. Toro-Ramos, PhD, Dean
Michael A. CoUura, PhD, Associate Dean
Engineering and the applied sciences are dynamic
professions that use knowledge, judgment, and cre-
ativity for solving some of the most important and
interesting challenges of society. These challenges and
the changing face of engineering will shape the world
of the twenty-first century— a world of exotic materi-
als, new sources of energy, staggering telecommunica-
tions and computing capabilities, cybernetic factories,
and needed public works.
Few professions can match engineering for its chal-
lenge and excitement or for its essential spirit of play.
This quality is true for each of the school's seven engi-
neering programs— in chemical, civil, computer,
electrical, general, industrial, and mechanical engi-
neering-and also for its applied science programs in
computer science and chemistry. The rewards of an
engineering career include challenging tasks, social sta-
tus, and appealing working conditions and compensa-
tion. All of these are in addition to the great satisfac-
tion of seeing your accomplishments in the real world
of engineered components and systems.
The mission of the School of Engineering &
Applied Science (SEAS) is to prepare individuals for
professional practice in diverse engineering areas, com-
puter science, and chemistry. In addition, SEAS prepares
individuals for lifelong education in their professional
careers and for such formal post-baccalaureate education
as their inclination and professional growth require.
As part of this preparation, students will become
proficient in:
• the basic science, mathematics, and engineering
skills required in their chosen profession
• the foundation principles of the major
engineering disciplines
• design and synthesis
• using and integrating computer technology in the
practice of their profession
• understanding and handling engineering problems
from multiple disciplines
• considering the social, political, economic, and
safety concerns and practices of a diverse commu-
nity in developing their professional solutions
• written, oral, graphical, and multimedia
communication
• working as a member of a team and leading a team
• considering legal and ethical issues related to
their profession
• project management techniques for engineering
applications.
The School of Engineering & Applied Science
offers undergraduate programs leading to bachelor of
science and associate in science degrees.
At the graduate level, SEAS offers programs lead-
ing to the master of science degree and graduate cer-
tificates. Detailed information-tion about these
graduate programs is in the Graduate School cata-
log-
Professional Accreditation

Choosing a Major
A student may be accepted into the School of
Engineering & Applied Science without declaring a
major in a specific engineering discipline. Students
who have chosen a major should follow recommend-
ed first-year program for the major. Students who are
undecided about their choice of engineering major
should choose the degree program General
Engineering and follow the recommended first-year
program. Those students wishing to complete
an engineering degree program other than General
Engineering are strongly advised to decide on their
new program by the beginning of the sophomore year.
Students interested in Chemistry or Computer
Science are advised to choose that option in their first
year.
All newly admitted students, including transfer
students, are assigned a faculty advisor in the degree
program of their choice. Students choosing General
Engineering are assigned a faculty advisor by the
Dean of the School.
The MuJtidiscipiinary Foundation for Engineering
Programs
To operate eff^ectively in today's workforce, engi-
neers need to have a multidisciplinary perspective
along with substantial disciplinary depth. The faculty
of the School of Engineering & Applied Science at the
University of New Haven have developed an innova-
tive approach to achieve this perspective: the Multi--
disciplinary Engineering Foundation Spiral. This cur-
ricular model enables the needed mix of breadth and
depth, along with the desired professional skills, by
providing carefully crafted, well-coordinated curricu-
lar experiences in the first two years.
The Multidisciplinary Engineering Foundation
Spiral is a four-semester sequence of engineering
courses (EAS prefix), matched closely with the devel-
opment of students' mathematical sophistication and
analytical capabilities and integrated with coursework
in the sciences. Students develop a conceptual under-
standing of engineering basics in a series of courses
that stress practical applications of these principles.
Topics in these courses include electrical circuits, fluid
mechanics, heat transfer, material balances, properties
of materials, structural mechanics, and thermodynam-
ics. Unlike the more traditional approach, each of the
foundation courses includes a mix of these topics pre-
sented in a variety of disciplinary contexts. A solid
background is developed by touching key concepts at
108
several points along the spiral in different courses,
adding depth and sophistication at each pass. Each
foundation course also stresses the development of sev-
eral essential skills, such as problem solving, oral and
written communication, the design process, team-
work, project management, computer analysis meth-
ods, laboratory investigation, data analysis, and model
development. Students will build substantial depth in
some of the foundation areas in subsequent courses,
while other topics may not be further developed,
depending on their chosen discipline. Thus the foun-
dation courses serve both as the basis for depth in dis-
ciplinary study and as part of a broad multidisciplinary
background.

First Year Engineering Program
Coordinator: Jean Nocito-Gobel, PhD
Faculty: Representatives from all undergraduate pro-
grams in the school
The First Year Engineering Program prepares stu-
dents for upper-level study in their chosen discipline
through a combination of specialized advising, the
first-year engineering curriculum, extracurricular
activities, and workshops. Students learn about the
contributions and attributes of various engineering
and applied science disciplines to help them finalize
their choice of a major area of study. Workshops and
tutoring sessions help students meet the challenges of
a rigorous academic program in engineering or applied
science. Plant trips and guest speakers provide an
exciting bridge to the industrial world beyond the
classroom walls.
University Core Curriculum
In addition to school and department requirements,
students must fulfill all requirements of the university
core curriculum. (See University Curricula section of
the catalog.) Included within the core are requirements
in the humanities and social sciences. See the section
below under Humanities Electives for details.
General Policy of the School of
Engineering & Applied Science
The following definitions apply to all degree pro-
grams within the School of Engineering & Applied
Science:
Transfer Credit
Transfer of credits for previous academic work is
coordinated by the dean's office and assessed by pro-
gram coordinators according to school policy,
described in the document "Guidelines on Transfer
Credit Awards." All transferred courses are the result of
a determination of equivalence of course content and
course level.
Transfer students whose previous academic work
results in placement beyond the freshman year may be
given the option of following the program worksheet in
effect for upper-level students in the chosen major. Such
a choice may shorten the time required to complete the
degree program.
Engineering & Applied Science 109
Humanities Electives
Humanities and social science courses are intended to
develop the competencies required of all SEAS profes-
sionals in creating socially, politically, economically, cul-
turally, and aesthetically satisfying solutions to society's
problems. Such courses also assist students in under-
standing the needs of and communicating options to the
various constituencies which impact on and are affected
by these societal problems and their solutions. Specific
courses chosen must satisfy imiversity core requirements.
Mathematics Electives
These are courses from the mathematics depart-
ment at the 300 or higher level. Faculty advisors
should be consulted for recommendations on the most
relevant mathematics electives for a student's career
objectives.
Technical Electives
Technical electives are upper-level courses directly
pertinent to a student's major field of study. These
electives must be approved by the student's faculty
advisor and are usually chosen from engineering
school courses. Faculty approval is important to ensure
that students meet the prerequisite requirements.
Design Electives
Design electives within each program are those
upper-level engineering courses that incorporate sub-
stantial design activities. Suitable courses include a (D)
following the course title. These courses may also be
used as technical electives.

Buckman, the co-founder of Enthone Corporation.
The Clarice Buckman Scholarships are awarded to
juniors and/or seniors majoring in chemistry or
chemical engineering.
Chemical Engineering Club
The Chemical Engineering Club has ties to the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). It
provides students the opportunity to socialize, meet
chemical engineers working in the area, visit process
plants, and get involved in communit)^ projects.
The Co-op Program
Students in the School of Engineering & Applied
Science may participate in the cooperative education
program (Co-op), which enables sttidents to combine
practical, paid work experience in an activity associated
with their professional degree program. This "earn while
you learn" program combines experiential and academ-
ic preparation for a career. For further details see "The
Co-op Program," which appears earlier in this catalog,
or contact the SEAS co-op coordinator.
Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers are creative problem solvers.
They apply the fundamental principles of chemistry,
physics, mathematics,' and economics to the solution
of practical problems and to the search for new knowl-
edge. Traditionally, chemical engineers develop,
design, optimize, and operate processes which convert
material and energ)' resources into new or improved
products. It was practitioners of this discipline who
developed the technological infrastructure for indus-
tries such as chemicals, petroleum products, plastics,
textiles, pharmaceutical, and food processing.
110
Currently, chemical engineers are concerned with
the critical areas of resource depletion, energy conser-
vation, recycling, pollution prevention and control,
hazardous waste management, improved control of
processes, increased safety, and enhanced productivity.
The major has also proven to be an excellent back-
ground for the study of law, medicine, or business.
Mission and Goals
The mission of the Chemical Engineering Program
is to prepare a diverse student body for entrance into
the Chemical Engineering profession and for an evolv-
ing professional career. The following ten educational
goals have been set to achieve the program's mission:
• Students can demonstrate the understanding
of and an ability to apply concepts in basic science
and mathematics and have a working knowledge of
advanced chemistry.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to apply the
concepts of balances, rate, and equilibrium rela-
tionship, and process/product/equipment analysis
and design.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to effectively
communicate technical ideas to a variety of
audiences.
• Students can demonstrate proficiency in the use of
computer tools typical of those used in the process
industries for research, development, design, and
operation activities.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to develop
solutions to open-ended problems which achieve
balance among competing constraints.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to think cre-
atively and to extend their knowledge through
independent learning.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to design and
conduct experiments, analyze data obtained, assess
overall results, and make recommendations regarding
the outcome of their work.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to apply an
engineering approach to the solution of problems.
• Students are aware that solutions to technical prob-
lems have wide-ranging effects on society. They can
demonstrate the ability to incorporate consider-
ation of such effects into their solutions.
• Students can demonstrate the ability to function as
an integral member of a multidisciplinary team.
Achievement of these goals is assessed by a variety
of means, including course evaluations, exit surveys,
alumni surveys, and employer surveys.
BS, Chemical Engineering
The chemical engineering program is challenging
and demands hard work, but for those genuinely
interested, it develops the depth of knowledge
required to embark on a fascinating and satisfying
professional career in industry or government or to
continue study at the graduate level. The BS in
chemical engineering degree is accredited by the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)
and by the Engineering Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (EAC/ABET).
The freshman year in chemical engineering is like
that of the other engineering discipline, (see
Multidisciplinary Foundation for Engineering
Programs). Chemical engineering students take EAS
120, Chemistry with Application to Biosystems, dur-
ing the freshman year.
The first chemical engineering course, taken in the
sophomore year, is the beginning of a well-integrated
sequence that builds on the multidisciplinary founda-
tion. Each chemical engineering course contributes
uniquely to the development of skills in problem solv-
ing, communication, computer usage, and engineer-
ing design. Several common themes weave throughout
these courses, including safety, concern for the envi-
ronment, and practical application of knowledge to
real-world problems. A comprehensive laboratory
experience contributes to these educational objectives
through the use of modern, industrial-type data acqui-
sition and control instruments and computers on
pilot-scale process equipment. Comprehensive design
projects in the senior year enable the student to syn-
thesize and focus the entire curriculum. Several engi-
neering or science electives allow flexibility in the pro-
gram, to include areas of special interest.

Chemistry
Chemists are concerned with the structure and
analysis of matter and the changes that matter under-
goes. Today's chemists are solving chemical problems
and developing new substances with the increasing use
of laboratory instruments. Many of these instruments
are interfaced with computers for rapid data analysis
and display.
Careers for chemists in today's market include the
rapidly developing fields of instrumentation, comput-
ers, energy, environment, forensics, medicine, safety
and health, pharmaceutical, product and equipment
development, chemical engineering, plastics and poly-
mers, synthetic fibers, industrial chemistry, technical
sales and services, and management.
Mission and Goals
The mission of the chemistry program is to prepare
students from diverse backgrounds for careers as profes-
sional chemists for fiiture study in graduate or profes-
sional school and for careers as professional chemists.
Towards these ends, the program has the following edu-
cational objectives:
• to provide a strong background in theoretical
chemical principles and laboratory practice
• to develop problem-solving and critical-thinning
skills
• to develop the ability to communicate effectively
• to provide pertinent experience with chemical
instrumentation.
The BS in chemistry program consists of most of
the courses recommended by the American Chemical
Society and provides a rigorous background well-suit-
ed to those students who will pursue graduate studies
in chemistry. The program is also highly recommend-
ed for premedical students. The program contains six
technical elective courses. By carefiil selection of cours-
es, these electives allow the student to develop a clus-
ter in a related field such as biotechnology, biochem-
istry, computer science, environmental studies, or an
engineering field

Civil Engineering is about community service,
development and improvement: the planning, design,
construction, and operation of facilities essential to
modern life. Civil engineers are problem solvers tak-
ing on the challenges of environmental pollution, traf-
fic congestion, infrastructure rehabilitation, drinking
water and energy needs, urban redevelopment, and
community planning. They are at the forefront of
technology, leading users of some of the most sophis-
ticated high-tech products available (e.g., GPS and
GIS systems, fiber-optic sensors, CAD systems, highly
sophisticated, task-specific computer software, etc.)
Innovation is paramount in the solution to most civil
engineering projects.
Mission and Goals
The mission of the civil engineering faculty is to pro-
vide a state-of-the-art/state-of-the-practice program
designed to achieve the following four major education-
al goals:
• educate a new generation of civil engineers to meet
the challenges, derhands, and expectations of society
• cultivate, enrich, and promote scholarship, respon-
sibility, and service among our graduates
• disseminate new knowledge
• nurture interdisciplinary education for solving the
problems facing an ever-changing society.
In order to achieve this mission, the civil engineer-
ing program's objectives are to:
• provide educational experiences that prepare our
students for professional practice of modern civil
engineering in a global, societal and environmental
context
• promote scholarship and problem-solving skills
• instill an understanding of the technical, economic,
political, ethical, and humanistic dimensions of
civil engineering projects
• prepare students to interact and communicate
effectively in multidisciplinary fields
• instill the need and provide the educational
foundation for lifelong learning
• encourage service to the civil engineering profes-
sion and to society through professional registra-
tion and community involvement.
To help achieve the educational goals and objectives
presented above, the faculty of the civil engineering pro-
gram in combination with the faculties of the School of
Engineering & Applied Science at the University of New
Haven have developed a new and innovative curriculum:
the Multidisciplinary Engineering Foundation Spiral. It
is an effort, during the first two years of study, to provide
the student with a multidisciplinary engineering per-
spective. (See in-depth discussion under "Choosing a
Major".)
The foundation engineering courses (EAS prefix)
taken during the first two years of study serve both as
the basis for depth in Civil Engineering study and as part
of a broad multidisciplinary background. Each founda-
tion course also stresses the development of several essen-
tial skills, such as problem solving, oral and written com-
munication, the design process, teamwork, project man-
agement, computer analysis methods, laboratory investi-
gation, data analysis, and model development. In the
junior and senior years, the student is exposed to
required and elective Civil Engineering coursework
embedded with experiences in analysis, design, and pro-
fessional issues, providing insight into five Civil
Engineering subdisciplines: Structural, Geotechnical,
Hydraulics-Water Resources, Transportation, and
Environmental Engineering. The critical skills intro-
duced during the first two years (i.e., problem solving,
oral and written communication etc.) are further
enhanced through a variety of pedagogical methods
including laboratory reports, term projects, design
assignments, oral presentations, and participation in
American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter
activities, as well as field trips to local civil engineering
projects. Upper-level technical electives provide com-
prehensive exposure to current and emerging technolo-
gies in the various Civil Engineering subdisciplines.
Aspects of professional and ethical Civil Engineering
practice and service to the profession and society are cov-
Engineering &c Applied Science 1 1 5
ered to a finite degree in all upper-level courses and
extensively in a required course, "Professional and
Ethical Practice of Engineers." Coursework culminates
with a capstone design course that provides extensive
exposure to "real-world" design problems faced within
contemporary civil engineering professional practice.
Humanities and social science courses are included at all
levels of the curriculum.
The civil engineering program is enriched by a
diverse student body which includes students of a wide
range of ages, professional and nonprofessional experi-
ences, and nationalities. Graduates of the program are
encouraged to continue their education throughout
their professional careers and to become registered
professional engineers.
The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the
Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(EAC/ABET). A bachelors degree from an ABET-
accredited institution is required to become a PE, a
registered professional engineer. Accreditation is a tes-
tament to the quality of the Civil Engineering pro-
gram here at the University of New Haven.
Internship Requirement
The internship program is intended to enrich the
academic experience of our undergraduate students,
providing exposure to and participation in a working
engineering environment. Each internship must
involve a partnership consisting of the student, our
faculty, and employers/organizations to provide each
student intern with an optimal experience. A mini-
mum of 300 hours performing relevant engineering
duties is required prior to graduation. Students must
complete 60 credit hours toward the bachelor's degree
in civil engineering before an internship is attempted.
The internship carries no credit for the degree;
however, the requirement may be satisfied utilizing a
co-op position, summer employment, and part-time
or full-time positions that are approved by the stu-
dent's employer and by the department/internship
coordinator as relevant to the goals of the internship
experience. A waiver (or substitution) of the internship
requirement may be granted for students who are
employed in the field, subject to a formal review by the
department/internship coordinator. The student's
request for such a waiver must be initiated one year
prior to the anticipated graduation date.
Student Chapter of the American
Society of Civil Engineers
At UNH, an active student chapter of the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) sponsors
technical lectures, field trips, and social activities that
offer an opportunity for students to interact with prac-
ticing professionals. Membership is open to all civil
engineering students in good standing.
Chi Epsilon
Students with high academic standing are nominat-
ed annually for membership in Chi Epsilon, the
national honor society for civil engineers.
BS, Civil Engineering
Students must complete a total of 132 credit hours
for a degree in civil engineering, including the engi-
neering requirements for the freshman year listed
earlier in this section, the university core requirements,

Harding, PhD
At the undergraduate level, the bachelor of science
degrees in electrical engineering and in computer
engineering are offered. A master of science in electri-
cal engineering, with an option in computer engineer-
ing, is available at the graduate level.
Electrical and computer engineering encompasses
many practical and diverse technologies, including elec-
tronics, electromagnetics, power, communications, con-
trol, microprocessors, computer systems, digital systems,
signal and information processing, and fiber optics.
Electrical and computer engineers serve in many
professional capacities which require a thorough
understanding of the scientific principles that govern
electrical phenomena. These activities often lead to
new concepts and techniques and, sometimes, to the
discovery of new phenomena. The technical complex-
ity of the services or products provided by many com-
panies requires personnel with the appropriate educa-
tional background.
Mission and Goals
The mission of these programs is to prepare stu-
dents from diverse backgrounds for professional prac-
tice and continued growth in electrical and computer
engineering.
To accomplish this mission, the following major
educational goals have been set:
• to provide an education recognized within
the profession
Engineering & Applied Science 1 2 1
• to provide a broad-based educational
experience
• to create, develop and deliver new and
innovative knowledge
• to prepare graduates for employment in
professional practice and/or graduate study.
The curriculum is designed to provide students
with the skills and the basic scientific background
needed to become proficient in today's technology and
to keep abreast of future developments in the electrical
and computer engineering profession.
The early part of the program emphasizes electrical
and computer engineering skills that form the back-
ground for the upper-level elective and design courses.
Physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer program-
ming, basic engineering science, and general education
courses supplement the required and elective electrical
and computer engineering courses.
The upper-level electrical and computer engineer-
ing coursework provides areas of concentration for in-
depth study. Students can choose additional technical
electives from outside the area of concentration to pro-
vide more breadth of knowledge.
To influence our society's evolution, the electrical and
computer engineer must acquire an understanding of
our society, our cultural heritage, and the human condi-
tion. The engineer must communicate ideas to other
engineers and to the public. The electrical and comput-
er engineering program enables this via liberal and hu-
manistic studies. The university core requirements allow
students to expand their cultural and intellectual hori-
zons by exposing them to the humanities and social sci-
ences. Students learn written and oral communication
skills in their core courses as well as in multidisciplinary
engineering-science courses in freshman and sophomore
years. Students apply these skills in their humanities and
social science courses as well as in laboratory/design
courses in their major.
An important feature of the electrical and comput-
er engineering curriculum is the design experience.
Our students develop the ability to analyze appropri-
ate models, conduct empirical tests, gather relevant
information, interpret empirical tests, develop appro-
priate models, develop alternative solutions, formulate
problems, and synthesize in our laboratory sequence.
In gradual steps this sequence of courses takes the stu-
dent from a well- structured laboratory experiment in
the sophomore year to an open ended design project in
the senior year in gradual steps. This allows students to
gain practical experience in engineering design.
Internship Requirement
The internship program is intended to enrich the aca-
demic experience of our undergraduate students, provid-
ing exposure to and participation in a working engineer-
ing environment. Each internship must involve a part-
nership consisting of the student, our faculty, and
employers/organizations to provide each student intern
with an optimal experience. A minimum of 300 hours
performing relevant engineering duties is required prior
to graduation. Students must complete 60 credit hours
toward the bachelor's degree in electrical or computer
engineering before an internship is attempted.
The internship carries no credit for the degree;
however, the requirement may be satisfied utilizing a
co-op position, summer employment, and part-time
or full-time positions that are approved by the stu-
dent's employer and by the department/internship
coordinator as relevant to the goals of the internship
experience. A waiver (or substitution) of the internship
requirement may be granted for students who are
employed in the field, subject to a formal review by the
department/internship coordinator. The student's
request for such a waiver must be initiated one year
prior to the anticipated graduation date.
Student Societies
The electrical and computer engineering programs
sponsor a student section of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers. This organization supports
visiting lecturers, educational workshops, field trips to
surrounding industrial sites, and social events.
Eta Kappa Nu, the national honor society for elec-
trical and computer engineers, is represented by the
Zeta Rho Chapter at the University of New Haven.
This society exists to honor superior students and to
encourage high scholastic achievement.

The BS program in electrical engineering is accred-
ited by the Engineering Accreditation Corn-mission of
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (EAC/ABET).
Electrical engineering is concerned with the analy-
sis, design, development, and operation of electrical
and electronic systems. Examples of such systems
include communication, fiber optics, data processing,
power generation and distribution, control, and
instrumentation. Digital circuits and computers are
important integral parts of such systems and are wide-
ly used by electrical engineers in their design and
development. The electrical engineer is also concerned
with the devices that make up systems such as transis-
tors, integrated circuits, rotating machines, antennas,
lasers, and computer-memory devices.
Program Objectives
The educational objectives of the electrical engi-
neering program are to produce graduates who:
• can think creatively to formulate and solve
electrical engineering problems
• can design electrical engineering systems, subsys-
tems, or processes to meet performance, econom-
ic, safety and environmental specifications
• have an understanding of professional and ethical
responsibility as it relates to the electrical
engineering profession
• have a sufficiently broad foundation in electrical
engineering to allow them to grow and develop
with a rapidly changing technological environment
• apply effective writing, speaking and communica-
tion skills in professional presentations
• understand and apply the techniques, skills and
tools of modern electrical engineering practice to
analysis and design problems.
The bachelor of science in electrical engineering
offers three upper-level concentration areas:
1. Communications-including communications
systems, fiber optics, signal processing.

Computer engineering is concerned with design
and implementation of digital systems such as com-
puter systems, computer-based control systems, inter-
faces between digital and analog systems, interfaces
between hardware and software, and control software
for embedded computer systems. This program spans
124
the disciplines of both electrical engineering and com-
puter science and can be described as bridging the area
between the two.
Computers are used in almost every device or system
manufactured today, from large multicomputer systems
to cell phones and credit card reading devices. In addi-
tion, they are used in signal processing applications,
speech recognition, medical imaging, and picture and
data communication. The internet is possible in part
because of advances in computing machines and data
communication created by people working in the
capacity of computer engineers. Careers for computer
engineers are found in all phases of the production of
these devices and systems, from design, manufacturing,
and maintenance to marketing and sales.
Program Objectives
Upon completion of the program, a graduate of the
computer engineering program should be able to:
• demonstrate both hardware and software skills
and understanding
• understand the design tradeoffs between
hardware and software
• have an understanding of professional and ethical
responsibilities
• apply effective writing, speaking, and
communication skills in professional presentations
• design embedded real-time systems
• design and interface between a computer system
and a digital communication system network
• design a processor and understand basic computer
architecture and organization.
Design and problem solving are the central themes
of this program. This engineering area uses the engi-
neering and hardware approach of electrical engineering
and the knowledge of computing structures and the
algorithmic approach of computer science. The first two
years of the program concentrate on basic science,
mathematics, and engineering. The last two years are
comprised of courses in digital systems, computer sys-
tems, networks, electrical systems, and design of soft-
ware systems. There are three electives in the fourth year
that give the student an opportunity to explore a hard-
ware and/or software-oriented program. The final year
has a senior design course spread over two semesters in
which the student designs a device, system, or software
application. Depending on the students interests, the
project can be hardware-oriented, software-oriented or
both. The program also has a general education compo-
nent in communications, economics, and the humani-
ties needed to create a well-rounded professional.
Required Courses
Students must complete a total of 128 credit hours
to earn a bachelor of science degree in computer engi-
neering. Humanities or social science electives must be
selected to fulfill the core curriculum requirements of
the university, and students must complete the intern-
ship requirement.
Program core courses are advanced CS or EE cours-
es that are considered to be in the area of computer
engineering. The technical electives are any 300-level or
above CS or EE courses that fit into the student's plan
of study and are approved by the academic advisor.
In the final year of study the student takes a senior
design sequence CEN 457 and CEN 458, that is spread
over two semesters. In the first semester the student
selects a topic and does a literature search and a prelim-
inary design. In the second semester, the student com-
pletes design, implements the project, and presents the
results.
The following list shows the sequence of courses
that a student should follow to complete the program
in four years.

The Degree Program
The bachelor's degree program in General
Engineering requires completion ot 121 credit hours.
Students can use the various electives (including
Engineering electives) to focus on an area of interest
within SEAS or may combine engineering with other
areas. Faculty of the School of Engineering &: Applied
Science are currently revising the course requirements
of the General Engineering program to fully imple-
ment the new Multidisciplinary Engineering
Foundation curriculum. This will affect the entries
listed below as Required Engineering Courses and
Electives. Please see the UNH website or contact the
Dean's office for the latest requirements.
Undecided Option
Students who wish to earn an engineering degree
in a designated discipline (CE, CEN, CM, EAS,
EE, IE, or ME), but who are undecided about choice
of discipline, should start the general engineering
(GE) program and change majors to one of the specif-
ic degree programs when they have decided on an
engineering specialization. Making a choice by the end
of the first year of study will result in a smooth transi-
tion.

Mission and Educational Objectives
Tracing its lineage to the creation of the university in
1920, when one of the two original program offerings
was called "Industrial Arts," the Industrial Engineering
program defines its mission as being successfiil as a pre-
mier provider of undergraduate and graduate degrees in
industrial engineering. This mission includes recruiting a
diverse student body; providing state-of-the-art educa-
tion; and interacting with employers to insure that grad-
uates are ready, willing, and able to contribute to their
chosen professions in service organizations, manufactur-
ing, the military, government, transportation, com-
merce, health care, and numerous other fields.
The program accomplishes its mission by preparing
industrial engineers, people who engineer processes and
Engineering & Applied Science 127
systems that improve quality and productivity in any
workplace setting. The program's objectives are to pro-
duce graduates who:
• are career-ready and capable of pursuing graduate
studies
• can communicate their ideas effectively
• can successfully interact with team members and
others
• are professionally and ethically responsible.
The program combines strong theoretical founda-
tions in science, mathematics, probability and statis-
tics, human factors/ergonomics, humanities, and
social sciences with industrial engineering and com-
puter applications in order to improve effectiveness in
virtually all industries and economic sectors, including
manufacturing, transportation, service, and govern-
ment. Graduates will be prepared to address issues of
operational design, process and product quality, meth-
ods improvement, and facilities design.
Student Chapter of HE
Students are encouraged to join, at a reduced mem-
bership fee, the student chapter of the Institute of
Industrial Engineers (HE). The student chapter is affil-
iated with a local senior chapter of HE, enabling stu-
dents to develop a sense of the practice and direction
of the profession.
BS, Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering is one of the most flexible and
diverse of all engineering disciplines, providing a broad
view of the complex interrelated activities necessary to
produce a product or service efi"iciently in a competitive
market. Through selection of elective courses, an indus-
trial engineering student can specialize in a broad range
of areas applicable to manufacturing and service indus-
tries, including quality control, ergonomics, work
design, operations research, production control, facili-
ties planning, logistics, and manufacturing.
Industrial engineering is concerned with the design,
evaluation, and improvement of human/machine
systems, processes, and methods, considering such fac-
tors as economics, safety, the environment, and ethics.
The skills imparted and insights developed in the grad-
uates are intended to be useful for professional practice
in a wide spectrum of manufacturing industries; in
transportation; in insurance and service industries; and
in government, retail trade, and commerce. Expertise in
industrial engineering is presently highly sought, as the
joint concern for productivity and quality improvement
is manifested throughout the national and global econ-
omy. Industrial engineers are among the most upward-
ly mobile of those in the engineering profession by
virtue of their training and expertise. Many industrial
engineers have attained top management positions in a
variety of industries.
Our program provides a broad engineering back-
ground during the first two years. In the last two years,
students are required to take an ensemble of courses
which are designed to shape their expertise in indus-
trial engineering. These include courses in manufac-
turing, robotics, quality control, production, facilities
planning, operations research, ergonomics, and simu-
lation modeling.
Industrial engineering has extensive laboratory
facililities in support of its academic program. These
include laboratories in human factors/ergonomics, man-
ufacturing engineering, work design, facilities planning,
computer-aided design and computer-aided manufac-
turing (CAD/CAM), and robotics.
The program in industrial engineering is the only
one of its kind offered in Connecticut. It is accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(EAC/ABET).
Required Courses
Students earning the bachelor of science in indus-
trial engineering (BSIE) must complete 127 credit
hours, including the university core curriculum. The
program also includes three credit hours of intern-
ship or a technical elective which is chosen in con-
sultation with the student's advisor for relevancy and
content. Internship refers to project work related to
industrial engineering with local industries. Under
the umbrella of BSIE, students have the option of
choosing a concentration in manufacturing systems,
quality systems, computer systems, or information
systems. The latter two concentrations consist of
courses from the electrical and computer engineering

Mechanical engineering represents a wide diversity
of pursuits including the analysis, design, and testing of
machines, products, and systems essential to everyday
life— everything from doorknobs, tennis rackets, and
fishing reels to power plants, skyscrapers, and automo-
biles. Mechanical engineers work in a variety of fields
such as aerospace, utilities, materials processing, trans-
portation, manufacturing, electronics, and telecommu-
nications.
Mission and Goals
The mission of the mechanical engineering program
is to graduate professionally competent and responsible
students who can meet industry's current and ftiture
needs in the general area of mechanical engineering.
In order to achieve its mission, the mechanical
engineering program must ensure that its graduates:
• apply knowledge in mathematics (through multi-
variate calculus and difi^erential equations, with
130
familiarity with statistics and linear algebra)
• apply knowledge in science (chemistry and calcu-
lus-based physics, with depth in physics)
• apply knowledge in engineering, including the
formulation and solution of engineering problems
• use techniques, skills and tools (contemporary
analytic, computational and experimental) neces-
sary for modern engineering practice
• design, conduct and analyze results of experiments
• actively participate in teams, including multidisci-
plinary teams
• communicate effectively
• accomplish design and realization of thermofluid
and mechanical systems, components, and processes
• understand professional and ethical ramifications
of engineering solutions within the context of
modern society
• cultivate lifelong capacity for learning.
Recognizing current knowledge-base demands on
graduating engineers and responding to input from
the program's stakeholders, mechanical engineering
has embraced the concept of a multidisciplinary foun-
dation to discipline-specific education (for details, see
the description under School of Engineering &
Applied Science). Thus, the BSME curriculum was
adjusted to include, mostly in the first two years, a
sequence of nine newly created (EAS prefix) founda-
tion courses.
Mechanical engineering classes are kept small
(rarely more than 20 students) and are taught almost
exclusively by full-time faculty. Experienced practi-
tioners from industry may also contribute their expert-
ise in selected courses. Faculty and students work with
industry in research and design projects. The
Alternative Energy Vehicle Project is one that brings
mechanical and other engineering students together in
an effort to build and race a nonpoUuting, practical,
low-cost vehicle.
The BSME program has been nationally accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(EAC/ABET) for 35 years.
With help from the student's faculty advisor, sev-
eral options for concentration are available for a stu-
dent to pursue. Restricted and technical elective cours-
es may be selected which offer the opportunity for fur-
ther learning in areas such as fluids, energy, design,
heat transfer, numerical analysis and computers, aero-
space sciences, and control systems.
Academic Performance
Mechanical engineering majors who complete their
first twelve credits of ME-prefixed engineering courses
with a cumulative average for these courses of less than
2.0 will have their academic records reviewed by the
entire ME faculty on a regular basis. An ME-prefixed
course may not be taken more than twice unless per-
mission is granted by the program coordinator.
An undergraduate student already enrolled at the
University of New Haven who wishes to transfer to
Mechanical Engineering will normally be expected to
satisfy the standards of the program for admission by
transfer.
The coordinator of mechanical engineering reserves
the right not to award transfer credit for technical
courses taken at any institution more than ten years
prior to a student's matriculation in the Bachelor of
Science degree program in Mechanical Engineering at
the University of New Haven, if it is determined that
knowledge acquired in those courses is either lacking
or obsolete.
Exceptional students having an overall average of
3.50 or better may join the Delta Zeta Chapter of the
Pi Tau Sigma honorary fraternity, which provides the
opportunity for closer relations with faculty and other
prominent individuals in the field for the purpose of
further professional development, involvement in facul-
ty research, and varied social and intellectual activities.
Practicum
It is recognized in the mechanical engineering
program that on-the-job experience as an under-
graduate student is a valuable tool in launching a
successful professional career. It is desirable, then,
for mechanical engineering majors to spend some
time prior to graduation performing engineering-
related duties at a manufacturing company, consult-
ing firm, technical organization, government
agency, or some other appropriate setting.
Interns are required to complete a minimum of
Engineering & Applied Science 1 3 1
300 hours of practical experience in an area or tech-
nical project closely related to mechanical engineer-
ing. The requirement may be satisfied through
appropriate co-op work experience, part- or full-time
employment, a summer job, an apprenticeship or
volunteer work at any time during a student's under-
graduate studies. Registration, proof of compliance
or a request for waiver must be submitted to the
department only after completion of 75 credit hours
toward the BSME degree. The practicum is graded
on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis and carries no
academic credit.
Student Chapter of ASME
Membership in the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers student section is open to all mechanical
engineering students in good standing and provides the
opportunity for field trips to local industrial plants,
attendance at technical presentations, social activities,
and access to interesting professional literature.
BS, Mechanical Engineering
Required Courses
Students earning the bachelor of science in mechan-
ical engineering are required to complete 126 credit
hours, including the university core curriculum.
Freshman
In addition to the common first-year courses listed
under the School of Engineering & Applied Science,
mechanical engineering students take the Mechanical
Engineering Skills Workshop. This one-hour-per-week
workshop familiarizes mechanical engineering students
with basic practices in a laboratory environment, includ-
ing safety considerations, design planning, layout, fabri-
cation, and the use of basic measuring equipment and
devices to test and verify a design. The workshop is of-
fered in the Spring semester and is graded on a
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis. The workshop carries
no academic credit.
Laboratory Science for mechanical engineering stu-
dents is EAS 1 20 or a four-credit biology course.

THE TAGLIATELA SCHOOL OF
HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM
Julian Schuster, PhD, Interim Dean
The Tagliatela School of Hospitality and Tourism
offers courses and programs in two fields: Hotel and
Restaurant Management and Tourism and Hospitality
Administration. These programs are an integral part of
the school. The Tagliatela family has been associated
with excellence in hospitality throughout the State of
Connecticut. As owners of the prestigious Old
Saybrook Point Inn, a perennial Four-Star resort, they
represent the finest standards in the hospitality profes-
sion. The University of New Haven and the Tagliatela
family invite you to participate in our challenging and
rewarding programs.
The school is dedicated to academic excellence
through study, teaching, and research in the fields of
hospitality within a global framework.
The school provides a strong foundation for pro-
fessional careers and seeks to prepare graduates for
leadership, professional excellence, and lifelong learn-
ing. In accordance with the University of New Haven's
mission, the curriculum is designed to strengthen the
student's ability to manage, to communicate, and to
reason in a diverse and complex workplace. Graduates
furnish the managerial talent needed by hotels, resorts,
spas, private clubs, restaurants, governmental tourism
agencies, destination management firms, and corpo-
rate travel companies.
Our students are educated to think; to make deci-
sions; to solve problems; to be creative, flexible, com-
mitted, and passionate; and to see change as an oppor-
tunity, not a threat. Such skills create a desire within
people to achieve, to lead, and to find new solutions to
old problems.
The school's programs provide three key elements:
substantive knowledge essential to the profession,
skills and abilities necessary to apply professional
knowledge to the field, and values relevant to lifelong
professional success.

Academic Policies
All required courses, including the university core
curriculum, must be completed, and courses identified
as the "major courses" must be completed with a grade
of C (2.0) or better. A lower grade requires that the
student to repeat the course in a fiiture semester.
Although the school offers summer courses, students
should not rely on them to meet graduation require-
ments.
To assure academic success, students are required to
maintain a cumulative qualit)' point ratio (QPR) of
2.50 or higher. Failure to demonstrate satisfactory
progress toward a degree in the Tagliatela School of
Hospitalit)' and Tourism will cause a student to be
placed on probation or suspended. U the QPR is not
elevated to 2.50 by the end of the following fiill semes-
ter (spring/fall), a student will be suspended from the
school for one semester.
134
Experiential Policies
The Tagliatela School of Hospitality and Tourism is
committed to providing a hohstic, student-focused
educational environment in which future hospitality
leaders can develop. Excellence in academic prepara-
tion is strengthened by the school's innovative
approach to engaged learning through practicum,
internship, and cooperative education experiences.
The school has established professional partnerships
with leading industry corporations/entrepreneurs to
provide professional development opportunities for
students as part of their undergraduate studies.
Therefore, in addition to academic requirements, the
Tagliatela School of Hospitality and Tourism requires
1200 hours of acceptable work experience/employ-
ment in the hospitality industry. This field experience
will be evaluated qualitatively as well as quantitatively
and must be consistent with the student's career aspi-
rations. The field experience requirement may be sat-
isfied during the school year or in summers.
International students may apply for work permits
after completing nine months of full-time study at the
University of New Haven.
Practicum
The practicum experiences require the student to
successfully complete 600 hours of professional expe-
rience for an associate's degree and 1000 hours of pro-
fessional experience for the bachelor's degree. The field
experience requirement (400 AS/800 BS) requires the
student to secure a paid position, with an approved
employer, in a location of the student's choice and car-
ries no academic credit. The community service
requirement (100 AS/200 BS) requires students to
engage in service learning and leadership initiatives.
Students will develop and coordinate community serv-
ice programs of their choice throughout their tenure as
undergraduates. The practicum will require an assess-
ment by the supervisor and a student report/business
plan on the activity.
Internship
The internship requirement (400 hours for a BS) is
an approved and supervised experience and is valued at
three academic credits. Students participate in an
internship experience after having completed the
required coursework and prior to graduation. The
internship consists of a full-time position (40 hours
per week) for a minimum of 10 weeks at an approved
site. Ordinarily, students are not permitted to take
additional courses or be employed outside the intern-
ship experience. The internship must take place in a
setting that is related to the degree, major area of
emphasis, and career goals of the student and must be
agreed to by the major advisor. Credentialed faculty
under the direction of the Associate Dean will admin-
ister the internship.
An internship is included in the program for sever-
al reasons. It serves as an integral component of the
formal education process. This experience, following
academic coursework, provides the practical experi-
ences for the student entering the hospitality and
tourism industry. Entry into the hotel, restaurant, culi-
nary, private club, or tourism fields requires qualified
experience on the part of the applicant. The internship
often serves as a steppingstone to employment and
assists the student in professional networking that may
lead to employment opportunities immediately or at a
later date.
Student Professional Organizations
Students are strongly encouraged to seek opportuni-
ties to develop professionally beyond the formal struc-
ture of academic requirements. The Tagliatela School of
Hospitality and Tourism supports student's affiliation
with national societies and associations. A student mem-
bership in extracurricular activities provides a rubric for
networking, leadership development, and self-motivated
improvement. The school's primary organization — the
Hospitality, Tourism, and Culinary Students
Association — provides numerous special-interest sec-
tions to facilitate the broad expectations of an interna-
tional student population. In addition, hospitality stu-
dents are encouraged to seek other leadership positions
here on campus and contribute as citizens to the sur-
rounding municipal communities.
Hospitality & Tourism 135
Eta Sigma Delta Honor Society
Eta Sigma Delta is the local UNH chapter of a nation-
al society that recognizes hospitality, tourism, and culi-
nary arts students tor outstanding academic achievement,
meritorious service, and demonstrated professionalism.
To be eligible for membership, a student must be official-
ly declared as a hospitality major, have completed 50% of
the credit hours required for graduation, have completed
at least one year of coursework at the University of New
Haven, and have a minimum 3.2 cumulative QPR.
Inducted students are encouraged to participate in com-
munity and university service activities.
Placement
Students in the Tagliatela School of Hospitality and
Tourism may receive help in finding a position in their
chosen field. Through attendance at and participation
in seminars, lectures, and industry conventions, stu-
dents have an opportunity to meet interesting and
important people in the field who are colleagues of the
faculty. In addition, the Career Development Office is
an active placement bureau helping students to obtain
hospitality-related positions during the academic year
as well as assisting with pursuit of permanent positions
at the time of graduation. The faculty of the Tagliatela
School of Hospitality and Tourism are also available
for career counseling.
Transfer Credits
The Tagliatela School of Hospitality and Tourism
accepts transfer credits that meet established university
criteria from regionally accredited junior and/or com-
munity colleges, four-year baccalaureate institutions or
approved professional schools in the hospitality field.
The University Core Curriculum
In addition to departmental requirements, students
must fulfill all requirements of the university core cur-
riculum. For further details on these requirements, see
information listed earlier in this catalog.
Hotel and Restaurant
Management
Associate Professor: C.E. Vlisides, PhD, University
of Texas
The program in hotel and restaurant management is
an integral part of the Tagliatela School of Hospitality
and Tourism. The department includes among its teach-
ing staff a number of successful members of the indus-
try who contribute their expertise in the classroom.
These experts include Michael Schaffer, owner of four
lodging operations in the Greater New Haven area, and
David Jurcak, the General Manager of the Omni Hotel,
a Four-Star hotel property in New Haven.
To those individuals who enjoy interacting with
many diverse people, who seek a continuous challenge,
and who thrive on details and deadlines, a career in
hotel and restaurant management offers a variety of
professional, personal, and financial rewards.
The focus of the program's curriculum is on the
development of managerial skills, abilities, and com-
petencies essential to all hospitality managers. The cur-
riculum combines contemporary and realistic tech-
niques. Students will learn to communicate, to lead,
and to adapt in a multicultural environment. The
diversified knowledge necessary for the management
of the modern lodging or restaurant operation requires
an educational background that is grounded in both
theory and application. The hotel and restaurant cur-
riculum at UNH is designed to permit classroom the-
ory to be applied in various hospitality settings.
The mixture of courses is designed to provide a
broad industry overview, as well as to allow the student
to specialize in operational areas. To ensure that hotel
and restaurant majors are well-grounded academically
for a career and for lifelong learning, the curriculum
has been designed to build on the university's core cur-
riculum liberal studies.
136
The hospitality industry demands that graduates of
hotel and restaurant programs understand the needs of
guests and be able to provide a personal service orien-
tation in a global marketplace.
BS, Hotel and Restaurant Management
The programs in this discipline center on conceptu-
al and technical knowledge required in the leadership
and management of modern hotels, motels, and restau-
rants. The program emphasizes interpersonal commu-
nication skills, critical analysis, flexibility, and creativi-
ty from the perspective of the manager of operations.
A student earning a bachelor of science degree in
hotel and restaurant management w^ill develop skills,
abilities, and competencies essential to all hospitality
leaders and managers. Students must complete 40 cours-
es equaling 121 credit hours, a 1000-hour practicum,
and 400 hours of internship in the industry.
Since every aspect of the hospitality industry is
involved with or depends on people, students are
required to enroll in courses on human resources man-
agement and supervisory leadership.
With the advent of new technology, new and inno-
vative private and non-profit operations, changing
expectations of guests, the shifting demography of the
workforce, and the globalization of our industry, today's
students must be able to recognize and adjust to change.
Upper-class courses, particularly those in hospitality
research and marketing, form the management
approach to meet the changes and challenges of the new
century.

Tourism and Hospitality
Administration
Assistant Professor: James J. Murdy, PhD,
University of Connecticut
Professor Emeritus: Elisabeth van Dyke, PhD,
Columbia University
As tourism continues to be a major factor in the
economy of many nations, there is a growing need for
expert professionals and consultants who can provide
in-depth guidance and direction for this rapidly
expanding industry. Travel and tourism may indeed be
the world's largest industry today, accounting for con-
siderable percentages of the global domestic product,
capital investment, and consumer spending world-
wide.
Located between New York and Boston, two of the
most prominent U.S. tourist gateways, the University
of New Haven offers students a unique vantage point
from which to study tourism.
Tourism as a profession requires a knowledge of fields
such as economics, finance, accounting, marketing,
planning, and policy development. Career possibilities in
tourism include employment at tourist attractions
and/or resorts; convention, meeting, and special event
management; marketing and sales of travel services;
administration of governmental tourism agencies; gov-
ernmental and private tourism planning organizations;
and international and national tourism associations.
Recognizing that education extends beyond the
classroom, all tourism majors will complete 1400
hours of work experience by doing 1000 hours of
practicum and 400 hours of internship. Professional
internships are a means of obtaining additional quali-
ty work experience.
BS, Tourism and Hospitality
Administration
The program presents a balanced tourism curricu-
lum of management skills, leadership, and human
resource management as well as tourism economics,
planning, and marketing. Global orientations are pro-
vided in courses covering international relations and
international law, organization, and business.
Classroom theory is complemented by other learning
opportunities, including guest lectures and field trips
to conventions, trade shows, and professional meet-
ings. Moreover, as conditions allow, students are given
opportunities to work on professional projects and
leadership development initiatives. This provides
excellent work experience and exposure to area
tourism professionals at the local, state, regional, and
national levels.
138
1 he BS degree in Tourism and Hospitality
Administration will provide students with the knowl-
edge and skills necessary to compete tor management
positions, and the orientation of the curriculum also
enables graduates to secure upward mobility.
Required Courses
A student earning a bachelor of science degree in
Tourism and Hospitality Administration must com-
plete 121 credit hours, 1000 hours of practicum, and

The criminal justice system is a formal mechanism
of control through which social order is maintained.
The study of this system is approached in an interdis-
ciplinary manner involving law, the physical sciences,
and the social sciences. Through the use of both con-
ventional and innovative techniques, including lec-
tures, written assignments, seminars, workshops,
internships, and independent research and study, stu-
dents are provided with the opportunity to gain a wide
variety of insights and experiences.
There is a full range of career opportunities available
in criminal justice at the local, state, and national levels.
Public Safety & Professional Studies 14 1
Because of its interdisciplinary approach, the study of
criminal justice fills the needs of students seeking careers
in teaching, research, and law and of in-service person-
nel seeking academic and professional advancement.
The department offers courses from the associate's to
the master's level as well as certificates. Complete infor-
mation about the master of science degrees in criminal
justice and in forensic science and the graduate certifi-
cates is available in the Graduate School catalog.
Undergraduate criminal justice concentrations in
law enforcement administration, corrections, crime
analysis, investigative services, juvenile and family jus-

lic policy, and public affairs. Students with an
undergraduate major in any of the schools of the
university may attain paraprofessional status in para-
legal studies or public affairs by completing a minor
in the Institute. The term paraprofessional applies to
those with special training in a professional field
who do not yet possess the terminal degree normal-
ly required in the profession. In many instances,
paraprofessional status is a step toward the accom-
plishment of the final degree.
Minor in Public Affairs
The public affairs minor in the Institute of Law
and Public Affairs is directed towards providing
training for civil service positions at all levels of gov-
ernment. The goal of such training is to provide
more effective public administrators and to intro-
duce creativity into the profession of public service.
The public affairs minor will take a problem-solving
approach to the discipline as students will be con-
ducting basic, in-depth research on problems of gov-
ernmental agencies. Students in this minor will be
able to develop valuable insights into the nature of
the public policy process from the vantage point of
the bureaucracy. Courses are selected in consultation
with a faculty advisor.

coimtries worldwide which suffer the highest degree of
destruction to life and property from fire. The
arson/fraud fire problem continues to contribute to
these statistics at an alarming rate.
Concern over this unnecessary loss of life and
property has triggered a rapidly growing need for
professionals in fire science. The municipal fire ser-
vice is only one part of this demand lor individuals
with specialized education in this multidisciplined
field. Career opportunities in the public sector
include those for municipal firefighters, fire inspec-
tors, fire investigators, fire technicians, and fire pro-
tection engineers. Private sector careers include those
of industrial firefighters, fire protection specialists,
fire protection engineers, fire investigators and loss
control consultants. Government, industry, fire
equipment manufacturers and vendors, and the
insurance industry are all potential employers.
The University of New Haven offers five under-
graduate degrees and four certificate programs
designed for those entering the exciting field of fire sci-
ence. A combination of classroom lectures, laboratory
sessions, case studies, and field trips are utilized to give
the student the broadest possible exposure in this area
of study. Internships are used to allow the student to
obtain real-life work experience in this specialized
field.

Occupational Safety
and Health
Director: Brad T. Garber, PhD
Coordinator: Howard J. Cohen, PhD
In recent years, the global community has become
painfully aware of the importance of safety procedures
and precautions in our everyday survival: the acciden-
tal release of lethal gases in India and the United
States, the space shuttle disasters, the cyanide deaths
from altered Tylenol capsules, to mention only a few
cases. Clearly, safety decision making has been brought
to the forefront of corporation management. No
employer today can afford to relegate safety to a minor
role in the organizational hierarchy.
This great interest in safety issues has generated a
significant demand for professional practitioners in
the field. Industry, retailing, commerce, communica-
tions, construction, and labor unions, as well as local,
state, and federal governments, need competent safety
specialists.
The demands placed upon the safety professional
require a broad background in chemistry, physics,
engineering, psychology, and biology as well as spe-
cific knowledge in the safety sciences. Our under-
graduate programs draw upon the resources of the
entire university to educate students in each of these
disciplines. In addition to required courses, students
choose from among a diversified offering of restrict-
ed and free electives with a balance of courses
designed to meet the needs and interests of individ-
ual students. Upon graduation, our students have
received the comprehensive education needed to
become successful professionals in occupational safe-
ty and health.
In addition to the four-year bachelor of science
programs in occupational safety and health adminis-
tration and technology, the university also offers two-
year associate's degree programs and an occupational
safety and health certificate. At the graduate level,
several programs are offered which include a master
of science in occupational safety and health manage-
ment, a master of science in industrial hygiene, and
two graduate certificates.
The Co-op Program
The department participates in the cooperative
education program (Co-op), which enables students to
combine practical, paid work experience in their career
field with college education. For further details see
"The Co-op Program," which appears earlier in this
catalog, or contact the co-op coordinator for the
School of Public Safety and Professional Studies.
BS, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
A group of degrees is offered in the field of occupa-
tional safety and health administration. These pro-
grams place less emphasis on the technical areas but
